Because redevelopment has reached some Riversdale streets more than others, a buyer moving in should expect the immediate surroundings to vary more from block to block than in a more uniform newer suburb, which is part of the appeal for some buyers and a drawback for others.
For someone who values walkability and an evolving commercial strip over a quiet, fully built-out street, Riversdale is a strong fit, while a buyer wanting predictability from one block to the next may prefer a more settled neighbourhood.
