5 Facts for Seniors Moving to & Living in Riverside, CA
1. More Affordable Than Coastal California: Riverside offers a significant financial advantage. Senior living costs, including independent and assisted living, are generally moderately to substantially below the state average, making it a more accessible option compared to nearby major metropolitan centers like Los Angeles or San Diego.
2. Dedicated “Special Transportation” and RTA Dial-A-Ride: To support independence, the city provides “Riverside Connect,” an advanced reservation, origin-to-destination transport service specifically for seniors aged 60+ and persons with disabilities. Additionally, the Riverside Transit Agency (RTA) operates “Dial-A-Ride” for those 65+, offering local trips within a single city.
3. Abundant Senior Centers and “Eldertainment”: Riverside is home to several specialized hubs, notably the massive Janet Goeske Center, which hosts over 160 free or low-cost weekly classes. The city’s Parks, Recreation and Community Services department organizes extensive senior-specific programming, often referred to as “Eldertainment,” across multiple community centers like Dales and La Sierra.
4. A Rapidly Expanding Senior Community: Riverside County is experiencing a rapidly expanding older population. This growth drives demand and ensures the continuous development of tailored resources, services, and a supportive social network for incoming retirees.
5. Comprehensive “Office on Aging” Support: The Riverside County Office on Aging acts as a central lifeline, offering more than two dozen free programs and services. Their offerings cover critical needs including nutrition and home-delivered meal services, health insurance counseling (HICAP), legal assistance referrals, and caregiver support.

Stop choosing between your kid’s college fund and your parent’s care. There’s a third way that saves $50k a year.🏡✨
The “traditional” way of living is changing. For decades, we were told that success meant everyone having their own separate square footage—miles apart. But in 2026, the Family Compound is the ultimate life hack for health, wealth, and happiness.

1️⃣ Connection is Medicine 🧠 Living alone is more than just lonely, it’s a health risk. Seniors in multigenerational homes see a massive boost in cognitive health and faster emergency response times. It turns “isolation” into “integration.”
2️⃣ The Financial Triple Win 💰 By pooling resources, families are saving an average of $30,000–$50,000 annually. Between the skyrocketing costs of assisted living and the price of childcare, “merging the houses” is the most effective wealth-building tool available today.
3️⃣ Privacy by Design 🔑 Forget the “spare bedroom” cliché. Modern multigenerational living is about Independence without Isolation. Our 2026 floor plans (Slide 3) show how ADUs and In-Law suites provide total autonomy—private entrances, private kitchens, and ADA-compliant spaces—all while staying one door away from the people who love you most.
The bottom line: We weren’t meant to do life in silos. Whether it’s sharing a meal, sharing the bills, or just having grandma right there for a bedtime story, the family compound is how we reclaim our time and our legacy.
Which would you prefer: total privacy or total connection? 💬

So happy for Miss Julie and Mr. George! They were so wonderful to work alongside in the goal of getting them a home to purchase. A little BACKSTORY: Their landlord in LA sold their apartment building and the new owner decided to make them private rentals. So… they were forced to leave. They decided to come to the and in for more space and more affordable housing. Miss Julie has a friend around the corner and they are already planning all of their wine 🍷 trips to Temecula!
