Ridgewood RealtorFor years, the Village of Ridgewood has been considered one of the best places to live in the country – Ladies’ Home Journal voted it one of the ten best suburbs in the country way back in 1975. As a Ridgewood Realtor who’s lived and worked in the area for around four decades, Jeffrey Helton can give you first-hand information about what life is like in this serene suburban haven.
Though it was officially established as a municipality only in 1894, a community of sorts had already been in existence in Ridgewood for at least 200 years. The site of encampments and skirmishes during the Revolutionary War, Ridgewood began as an agricultural community dominated by farms that were settled mostly by Jersey Dutch families as early as the 1690s. A selection of 18th century buildings such as the sandstone David Ackerman House makes up some of the oldest real estate in Ridgewood.
The village also has a rich collection of 19th and turn-of-the-century homes, as your Ridgewood Realtor will tell you. No matter the style or the age, however – whether it’s a venerable Victorian or a contemporarily designed home – you can expect to find residences here on generally spacious lots in quiet, tree-lined neighborhoods. Quite a few homes, especially those along Crest Road, even have views of Manhattan’s skyline.
With its highly-valued real estate, hometown feel, convenient location and booming business district, Ridgewood is a place you’ll love to come home to. Contact Ridgewood Realtor Jeffrey Helton and let him help you become part of this distinctive community.
