Ranch-style homes at lower prices are outside of flood zones
Sidewalks line Ridgecrest’s gridded streets, where homes from the mid-to-late 20th century are close together. Most properties are a quarter of an acre or less, with grassy lawns and driveways that often lead to one-car garages. Ranch-style houses with stucco or block exteriors are common. “Median prices are pretty low,” Brooks says. “It’s a good place for first-time homebuyers.” Most homes cost $200,000 to $380,000.
According to First Street, Ridgecrest has an extreme risk of hurricanes, but only a minor risk of flooding. “In that Ridgecrest area, you’re in one of the higher points in Pinellas,” Brooks says.
