Riverside, MO

united states

Riverside is a small Missouri River town just north of Kansas City, home to about 4,300 people in Platte County. Interstate 635 and US Highway 9 provide the main connections, with I-635 running straight into Kansas City about 10 miles south. Kansas City International Airport is 15 miles northwest for travelers. The town sits in the river's natural floodplain, where centuries of seasonal flooding created the rich bottomland that defines the area's character.
