Eclectic neighborhood in proximity to Manhattan
Situated on the edge of Queens and right next to Brooklyn district Bushwick, Ridgewood is a historical neighborhood with a generationally rooted community atmosphere and an up-and-coming food scene. In recent years, Ridgewood has become attractive to a slew of new homebuyers. People have been coming here for a hundred years but what’s changed is that prices in neighborhoods like the Lower East Side and Williamsburg have gotten so high in the past three decades that many–recent immigrants and creative professionals – among others – have started to look further down the line, the L and M Subways to be exact.
Ridgewood can offer some great views of Manhattan skyline.
Rudy's Bakery & Cafe has been a Ridgewood landmark since 1934.

New independent and long-established eateries
This more recent influx has added to the area’s multicultural and creative enclave vibe but also the emergence of a thriving food and bar scene. While most of Ridgewood’s tree-lined streets are quiet, commercial districts along Myrtle, Forest and Metropolitan avenues have an eclectic offering. Like homeowners, newly established independent businesses benefit from the neighborhood’s relative affordability and Subway links. Most of these small stores and eateries tend to group around stops like Myrtle-Wyckoff. Foodies from throughout the city are drawn to hip haunts like Rolo’s–with its unique take on continental classics. Sundown Bar is a trendy spot popular with young locals. Long-established Decades Pizza, Cholita coffee shop and the Nhà Mình Vietnamese restaurant are some of Wittmann’s favorites. There’s a Key Food grocery and FOOD BAZAAR on either end of St. Nicholas Avenue.
Try the savory Golden Green at Decades Pizza
Supermarkets like Food Bazaar provide great convenience to Ridgwood residents for daily needs.

Well-preserved prewar two and three-family homes
Well-maintained multifamily homes built in the early 1900s are the norm and range from $850,000 to $1.8 million depending on size and condition. These predominantly Renaissance Revival properties–often with Romanesque and Greek Revival details–are joined by a handful of contemporary infills and even a few condos. Two bedroom units in this category hover around the $1 million mark when they come on the market. More residents are homeowners than renters in Ridgewood, which is starkly different to nearby Brooklyn neighborhoods like Bushwick and Williamsburg.
Visit the Ridgewood Historic District for classic row homes.
Smaller side streets of Ridgewood contain single family homes of varying size and style.

Schools with a B rating from Niche
Though most residents enroll their children in Lower Manhattan schools thanks to direct Subway links, Ridgewood has plenty of good options closer to home.

B-minus-rated Grover Cleveland High School has an award-winning Physics Robotics Science Olympiad team. The Ridgewood YMCA has extensive after-school programming.

Hilltop playgrounds with skyline views
Grover Cleveland Playground has sweeping views of the Manhattan skyline and sits above the Ahawith Chesed and Linden Hill United Methodist cemeteries. The nearby Grover Cleveland Athletic Field has public tennis courts and an up-to-date soccer pitch encircled by a track field. It’s a popular spot for children’s birthday parties in warmer months.
Enjoy some play time with your furry friends at Grover Cleveland Park.
Rosemary's Playgound has splash pads for children to stay cool during the summer.

Reliable L and M Subway links
The L train gets residents from the Myrtle Wyckoff station to Union Square in 40 minutes. The M Subway reaches midtown from the Forest Avenue stop in just under an hour. Accessed through an onramp in nearby Liberty Park, The Jackie Robinson Parkway provides quick connections to New York’s two main airports, LaGuardia and John F Kennedy, but also other points east.
Ridgewood locals can easily get around the city with L & M trains.
Local bus routes help commuters get around Ridgewood.

Great place to live there are many different places to eat and enjoy. It's a safe place I haven't seen or heard about a mugging or robbery in a long time. Finally close transportation so easy to go around.

Ridgewood is a very quiet and for the most part safe neighborhood. It is not very diverse but is much more safer then the neighborhoods sorrounding it. Though it is a bit more expensive kids can easily enjoy growing up here .

Good small businesses not very safe at time but overall it has been okay. It seems to be up and coming soon but should have more job opportunities in the near future for more people. It is easy to get to the city and not far from beaches.
