Ridgewood is a predominantly residential neighborhood that straddles the border between Brooklyn and Queens. It is bounded by the neighborhoods of Glendale to the east, Bushwick to the south-southwest, East Williamsburg to the west, and Maspeth to the north. Ridgewood also includes the smaller Fresh Pond neighborhood. Known for its laid-back atmosphere, tree-lined streets, and single-family rowhouses and exposed brick apartment buildings, Ridgewood is a popular neighborhood for those looking for larger homes at more affordable prices when compared to those of Brooklyn. With access to public transportation and numerous retail stores and restaurants along the commercial avenues of Myrtle, Forest, and Metropolitan, Ridgewood is a great neighborhood for those who prefer to walk or ride a bike. Check out all the local shops and supermarkets along Fresh Pond Road, and don’t miss the famous Valentino Food Market, where you can find some of the best prepared Italian food in Queens. Situated less than five blocks from Myrtle Avenue, one of Ridgewood’s most active commercial thoroughfares, this 1930s brick building offers its inhabitants a convenient place to call home, as everything is a short walk away. A four-minute walk will get you to the elevated Forest Avenue station for the M train on the Sixth Avenue Line, which will take you over to Williamsburg and into Manhattan. This spectacular apartment is priced to rent quickly and includes a flat-screen TV, street parking, high-speed WiFi, and a place for you to do your laundry in the building.
