Wag! Walkers know Richmond
Richmond is a small neighborhood on the Indian River consisting
of mostly larger homes. Those homes that
sit on the riverbank have long piers with boathouses at the ends. From your
yard, you can see Yacht Club Island and all the boats coming and going. The homes
here sit on a cul-de-sac so you aren't likely to be subjected
to much in the way of vehicular traffic.
Living here puts you close to several excellent restaurants
and shops, some of which are within walking distance. The nearest dog park or
pet supply store is a bit of a drive, but you can find just about anything
within a ten to fifteen-minute drive no matter where you live in town. Living
on N Riverside Drive takes you just far enough away from US 1 to be unaffected by
the traffic flowing by, yet still close enough to it for easy commuting to Orlando,
Daytona Beach, or anywhere else.
What is the terrain like in Richmond?
Living here means living on mostly flat ground with a river
for company. The homes are quite large and expensive, yet right across Riverside
Drive, you will find far more modest homes,
a strip mall, and a number of restaurants
to choose from. This tends to bring a lot of traffic in, but the housing areas offer at least a bit of a buffer. The area tends to be quiet, but there
is an element of crime you should be aware of if you plan to take
your walks later in the evening.
The traffic along Riverside Drive is generally
pretty quiet. This makes it much safer for you and your dog
to go for walks on the sidewalks alongside the road. Better yet, there is a wide
swath of grass running north along the river the two of you can use for your
daily walks. It makes for a lovely walk and a refreshing change from walking on
the sidewalks.
How many greenways are there in Richmond?
The one thing missing from Richmond is anything in the way of
green space. Fortunately, there are plenty of green spaces nearby for you and
your dog to use for your daily outings. To start with, you can take a trip to the
Doris Leeper Spruce Creek Preserve where you can hike along miles of trails running
through more than 1,600 acres of forests, swamps, and scrublands on your way to the
observation tower and all the way to Rose Bay.
Directly across the river is the Mosquito Lagoon Aquatic Preserve.
This watery area covers hundreds of acres and is part of the Indian River Lagoon
network. It's a great place to take your dog for a canoe ride along the waterways. Use your GPS or take someone with you who
knows their way around the water or you could spend hours lost in here as local
landmarks can be very hard to see from the water.
