About
Riverview
Riverview, located between the Scioto River and Dublin Road, is a residential and riverfront Columbus neighborhood with leafy streets and long views of the water. The neighborhood’s character concentrates along Dublin Road near Fishinger Road, where joggers, cyclists, and patio tables track the river’s edge. Housing leans toward mid-century ranches and tidy brick colonials, with pockets of newer infill set back behind mature trees. The Scioto Trail frames daily routines with steady foot traffic and skyline glimpses. The Ohio Craft Museum and the Whetstone Park of Roses add a cultural-and-garden counterpoint to the river scenery.
