Forested suburban streets with Colonial-revival houses and new townhomes

Sweetgum and red maple trees overlook Bradford-Ridgewood’s winding suburban streets, lined with a range of single-family houses. Developers built most of the neighborhood before 2000 and single-family houses typically feature characteristics of Colonial-revival and ranch-style designs, with the occasional bungalow and contemporary home in the mix. The neighborhood also has townhomes on the market, and new luxury-style townhomes were recently built, featuring New Traditional-style architecture and garages, all within minutes of Downtown Gainesville. “Gainesville is a lot more residential than other Lake Lanier towns,” says Grace Orban, a Realtor at Red 1 Realty with over 20 years of experience. “It’s a very hot market, though; people love having the downtown lifestyle, living close to recreation facilities and nice restaurants.” Prices for homes in the neighborhood range from $300,000 to $500,000.

The Rock Creek Greenway connects residents to four different parks

The neighborhood sits less than a mile north of the Rock Creek Greenway, a shaded pathway connecting visitors to four parks along its path from downtown Gainesville to Lake Lanier. The path starts at Rock Creek Park, which features a 300-seat outdoor amphitheater, a small pond and a Vietnam War memorial. Walking further along the path leads to Ivey Terrace Park, built in 1936 and recently renovated with a new bridge and picnic areas around historic buildings and structures. The greenway is also part of a one-in-thirteen public art series called the Solar System Walk, a scale model of our solar system, accompanied by fun astronomy facts on statues of various planets. From there, the greenway blends into Wilshire Trails Park. Playgrounds and a bilingual storybook trail provide plenty for kids to enjoy. Longwood Park marks the end of the greenway, providing public boat launches for residents to have fun on Lake Lanier's waters.
