Living in Riverside
What Riverside is like
Riverside is the area along Riverside Drive, roughly 2 to 4 km west to north-west of the CBD, starting near Chiromo. Its edges are informal. It is often called Westlands, but it sits in Kileleshwa ward, Dagoretti North constituency, within Westlands sub-county. Land use is mixed: office blocks including Prime Bank's head office and the Commission on Revenue Allocation at 14 Riverside Drive, the Netherlands and German embassies, and homes and apartments. In 2012 homeowners went to court over City Hall's approval of high-rise apartments.
- Main roads
