Yo riverdale is probably the safest and most boring part of the bronx..I lived there for 14 years and let me tell u it doesnt get any safer. There is no point of you going there cause they dont have anything at all there. The happenin place there is Jaspers pizza ok. IF you want a trip to boringdale be my guest, but dont bother takin a trip there. To really answer u, yea its really safe, not many people live there except jewish...ALL JEWISH, so your safe as can be there...just dont go down the hill, thats where the trouble begins, cause then u will be in the bronx.
