What you should know about Five Points
Five Points is the small commercial cluster at the intersection of Park Street, Margaret Street, and Lomax Street in the middle of Riverside. The actual neighborhood is tight — a few square blocks — but it's the social anchor for everyone living within walking distance in Riverside and Avondale.
Restaurants and bars draw crowds nightly. The Sun-Ray Cinema (an arthouse theater) and Underbelly Music Hall keep the area lively. Boutiques, used record stores, and coffee shops fill the storefronts in between.
Homes in immediate Five Points are mostly historic — bungalows, four-squares, and the occasional modern infill. Walking distance to restaurants and the riverfront commands a premium. Like the rest of Riverside, expect older home systems and historic-district considerations on certain blocks.
