    Living in Ridgewood

    Ridgewood sits on the Queens–Brooklyn border and is celebrated for its remarkably intact rows of early-1900s brick houses — many of them the 'Mathews Model Flats' — that earned it a spot on the National Register of Historic Places. Once a heavily German (Gottscheer) enclave, it's now a diverse, increasingly popular neighborhood with a lively mix along Myrtle Avenue and Fresh Pond Road.

    The M train runs through on Myrtle Avenue and the L train is reachable at the Halsey Street and DeKalb Avenue ends, giving residents solid routes into Manhattan and into hip Brooklyn alike. Housing is dominated by those attached two- and three-family rowhouses and small apartment buildings, which has made Ridgewood a magnet for both first-time buyers and renters priced out of neighboring Bushwick.

    The Ridgewood market, in plain terms

    Ridgewood is one of Queens' most dynamic markets, buoyed by spillover demand from Brooklyn and a well-preserved stock of multifamily rowhouses. Two- and three-family homes are in high demand for their rental income and owner-plus-tenant flexibility, rentals lease quickly to a younger creative crowd, and prices have climbed as the neighborhood's profile has risen. Competition for well-located properties can be strong.
