The best qualities of suburban living with historical charm
With a thriving commercial district, top-ranked schools, well-maintained parks, year-round events and easy transit into New York, Ridgewood is the quintessential suburb. “It’s perfect for people who still want a bit of cosmopolitan life but with beautiful standalone homes and driveways,” says Laura Gill, local expert and top agent with The Gill Group, Keller Williams Village Square. Most of the area was built up in the 1920s and its well-kept historical charm remains a key draw. There’s a variety of homes on offer including mid-sized colonials on large lots with manicured lawns and old-growth trees. With tons of small businesses and popular community centers, the downtown anchors a close-knit community.
Ridgewood, NJ has a bustling downtown filled with many shops and restaurants.
