Living in Riverdale, GA
One advantage of living in Riverdale is that housing costs are low. The diversity of the big city also spills over into this suburb, and its proximity to Atlanta means easy access to some of the country’s best educational institutions, entertainment venues, and outdoor activities.

And the Virginia Gray Recreation Center is an indoor facility featuring a weight room, basketball courts, and a pool.
There are so many things to do in Atlanta with the family, you’ll be glad you live so close. The Georgia Aquarium is the country’s largest – and just a few miles from Riverdale. Another family friendly activity here is visiting the Children’s Museum of Atlanta for hands-on science fun, or the Lego Discovery Center Atlanta to build imaginative creations.
During baseball and football seasons, you can also catch the Atlanta Braves or Atlanta Falcons in town.
The culture in Riverdale revolves mainly around the Arts Clayton Gallery, which features both state and national exhibits, plus a pretty cool gift shop.
There's even more great stuff to check out in Atlanta, beginning with The Center for Civil and Human Rights, which allows visitors to interact with historical information about the struggles of human rights advocates.
Spend an evening on the town in Atlanta listening to the Grammy Award-winning Atlanta Symphony Orchestra, or by taking in a play at the Alliance Theatre, which routinely features shows before they make their way to Broadway.

Tips for Renting in Riverdale
If Riverdale is the place for you, there are a few renter’s rights you should know about before your move.
For one thing, Georgia doesn’t have a “cold feet” period. If you sign a lease, you don’t have the option to back out within 72 hours, as you can in some states. If you do change your mind after signing, the landlord has the right to impose penalties, like charging you for the first month’s rent.
If you do sign a lease with the intention of moving in, you're legally allowed to inspect the place before your move-in date – if you paid a security deposit. Your landlord should also give you a list of any damage he knows of before you move in.
