The Ridgewood Real Estate market is buzzing with a rumor that Green Bay Packer Legend Brett Favre, now with the NY Jets, is house hunting in Ridgewood NJ. Will he become the latest in a long line of famous Ridgewood residents or will this rumor prove false just like the “Johnny Damon is moving to Ridgewood” rumor of a few years back? At the time of this post, I can neither confirm or deny this rumor but it sure would make things in Ridgewood interesting – if it were true.
Below is a partial list of famous Ridgewood residents (past and present) from Wikipedia.
