What Renters Like and Dislike

What Renters Like and Dislike About Ridgewood

It's connected to everything. Highways, food places, schools and stores. I like it because it's close to my job.

I like the neighborhood because it is convenient. It is not far from other places I like to go and visit.itetb

Game rooms every where and a lot of Latino back ground and Mexican food is every where drying clothes are free and lots of food banks

The neighborhood is quite, and just two to three miles to the nearest shopping and restaurants. Several elementary and high schools are near by as well.

I like how its calm, i like that i live close to schools so that i can just walk to school, i like some of the food places nearby too

Close to my grandkids- everything is close by- grocery stores- fast food- doctor offices- parks near by- lots of trees
