Riverside

Riverside, Missouri, is a vibrant and growing community nestled along the Missouri River just north of downtown Kansas City. Its ideal location—minutes from highways and the airport—offers residents a peaceful, suburban feel while keeping urban amenities within easy reach. With parks, trails, community events, and a highly rated school district nearby, Riverside blends small-town charm with big-city access beautifully.

A standout feature of Riverside is the Kansas City Current’s training and development campus, which opened in 2022. It houses the first-ever training facility built specifically for a women’s professional soccer team in the U.S.. In 2025, the team broke ground on Riverside Stadium, a 2,000-seat outdoor venue with a FIFA-certified, heated grass pitch designed to host KC Current II matches and youth soccer programs. The expansion also includes a state-of-the-art performance center and new soccer pitches, bringing the total campus to 35,000+ sq ft and 12 fields, making it a regional hub for elite sports development.

Living in Riverside means embracing an energetic and community-focused vibe. Families and professionals alike enjoy the well-kept green spaces, riverfront trails, and programs at the Riverside Community Center. The Park Hill School District is a strong draw, and local development policies—like no personal or property taxes—create an inviting environment for homeowners and developers.

Looking ahead, Riverside is poised for further growth. The Riverside stadium and performance complex are catalyzing economic development, with surrounding residential, retail, and hospitality projects underway. This builds on the momentum created by nearly $1 billion in adjacent Riverfront redevelopment centered around CPKC Stadium downtown. Together, these investments are reshaping Riverside into a dynamic destination for sports, entertainment, and community living.

In short, Riverside offers affordable housing, a friendly neighborhood feel, access to excellent schools, and a high-performance sports culture anchored by the KC Current’s facilities—making it an exceptional location in Kansas City’s Northland.
