Downtown area

Drive through the Riverside Drive Historic District and you will be engulfed by the beauty of this neighborhood on the northern edge of downtown. The sparkling river, lush river bank and elegantly designed historic homes are an absolute delight. Plus there are parks on each end and in the middle of the district, and you're within minutes of downtown. This neighborhood contains a variety of popular residential styles including Queen Anne, Prairie, Colonial Revival and other period revival structures. The oldest house in the neighborhood is the 1890s Chapin House, which was moved to 1007 Riverside Drive in 1912. Young professionals are especially attracted to the area, with many University of Notre Dame and Indiana University South Bend professors, as well as other educators and at least a half dozen architects.
