Nestled along the Arkansas River in the north-central area of the city, Riverdale is home to apartments, condos and luxurious modern housing, as well as the corporate and regional headquarters of Dillard’s Department Stores, Verizon Corp. and Windstream Communications. The area also is noted for its good mix of restaurants, favoring Southern and Italian cuisine.

Shoppers will love the diverse selection of stores offering antiques, ceramics, fine fabrics, plants and specialty lighting fixtures. Not to be missed: the award-winning ribs at Whole Hog Café; the eclectic menu at Local Luna; Rebsamen Golf Course, the city’s largest public golf course; and the Arkansas River Trail that winds along the river and across the Big Dam Bridge at Murray Lock and Dam.
