My Favorite Ridgewood Neighborhood
Great for Ridgewood Families
This is my favorite Ridgewood Neighborhood and not just because I live here. The Colonial Square section of Ridgewood is a throwback to simpler times. Neighbors greet each other by name, folks stop by for leisurely chats while walking their dogs and children don’t need play-dates but rather walk from backyard to backyard to play with other neighborhood children.
Convenient to Everything That Makes Ridgewood Great
Colonial Square is within easy walking distance of Ridgewood’s Downtown, Ridgewood Train Station, Elementary, Middle and High Schools, Graydon Pool, Veterans Field, Ridgewood Public Library, Ridgewood Duck Pond and more.
Solid Real Estate Investment
Despite what you hear about home values on the national front, Ridgewood Real Estate remains strong and Colonial Square in particular is very strong. Consider that 3 Colonial Square homes were listed for sale in the past month and all three were “under contract” in less than two weeks. See links below.

By the way, I created the name Colonial Square for the purposes of this article. Colonial Road is squarely in the middle of this neighborhood, and it is filled with beautiful Colonial Homes, so I thought it made sense. Besides, this great Ridgewood Neighborhood deserves a name.

al, the sky is falling everywhere else but prices never fall in perfectville (the square mile around my home). how much do you think those 3 homes would have sold for in 2006?
have you ever read Freakonomics? authors suggest realtors sell their own homes for on average 5% more than their clients based on the incentive structure. this branding of colonial square seems like a brilliant marketing move just prior to a sale. Prices in Walnut Commons are exploding as well (walk to indirect train to city, boarded up downtown, and germ-filled pond pool). ROW (rest of world) is down 30% but here we are up 20%. Its that proximity to the city combined with the lack of traffic…
LaLaLand,
I love you man. I’ve read Freakonomics which has been widely discredited by most mainstream economists as “junk science”. That said, the sky will always be falling for guys like you but you do keep the optimists out there honest by always presenting an opposing, albeit gloomy, view.
I really do appreciate your comments even though they usually seek to cut me and my viewpoints down. There are 3 sides to every story and you are entitled to your version.
