Private Investigators in
Riverside, Illinois

Riverside is a designed landscape — a nationally recognised historic plan of deliberately curving roads following the Des Plaines River, with no conventional grid anywhere in the village. It is genuinely disorienting to work in. Streets bend back on themselves, intersections meet at odd angles, and a route that appears direct on a map can be nothing of the sort on the ground.

Why we are called to Riverside

What makes the work here different.

  • 01A curvilinear historic street plan with no grid, where following a vehicle requires local knowledge
  • 02Mature landscaping and deep lots giving properties substantial screening from the road
  • 03River and forest-preserve edges where a subject on foot leaves the road network entirely

About Riverside

A little history of Riverside.

Riverside is the most deliberately designed community in the area. In 1869 Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux, who had designed New York's Central Park, laid out a village of curving roads following the Des Plaines River, with generous public open space and no conventional grid anywhere. It is recognised as one of the first planned suburbs in the United States and is a National Historic Landmark.

We have worked across Cook County since 1991. Knowing a community — how it was laid out, how it grew, how people actually move through it — is part of how an investigation gets done properly here.
