About Riverside's Location
Riverside covers an area of about 9.76 square miles (25.24 square kilometers). Most of this area is land. Only a very small part is water.
In 1994, Riverside joined with a nearby area called Mad River Township. Because of this, the city of Riverside now has several separate parts. These parts are disconnected because other cities like Dayton and Huber Heights took over some land in between.
Riverside is next to several other cities and townships. These include Dayton, Kettering, and Huber Heights. It also borders Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. On its eastern side, Riverside is next to Beavercreek and some townships in Greene County.
