Why Live in Ridge
Ridge is a tranquil neighborhood nestled on the cusp of Long Island’s North Fork, surrounded by state forests and parks that offer sweeping woodsy vistas. Just 7 miles from Wading River Beach, Ridge provides a peaceful, almost secluded atmosphere, especially outside the busier summer months.

Residents of the Lake Panamoka Civic Association enjoy access to a private lake with three beaches for swimming, fishing, and boating. Local attractions include Fink Country Farm, which features hayrides, a corn maze, and seasonal activities, and Scott’s Pointe amusement park, located 4 miles away, with a wave pool, rock climbing wall, and go-kart track. Ridge’s homes, often set back on wooded lots with mature trees, include ranch-style, hi-ranch, and split-level designs, with some new construction available. The neighborhood also features three gated 55-plus communities with various amenities. The Longwood Central School District serves the area, with highly rated schools such as Ridge Elementary, Longwood Middle, Longwood Junior High, and Longwood High School, which offers a notable computer coding program. Dining options along Middle Country Road include Go Burger, Alfredo’s Pizzeria & Restaurant, and Drifter’s Kitchen & Bar, with Greek Island Diner a bit further away.
