Configured as a spacious 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home, the property offers a seamless balance of design, comfort, and functionality.

Just outside your door are destinations like Rolo’s, La Cabra, La Cantine, Salty Lunch Lady’s Luncheonette, Eyval, and Ops—a dining scene that increasingly puts the area on the map. At the same time, you are positioned just moments from Bushwick and East Williamsburg, giving you immediate access to the broader Brooklyn lifestyle—renowned nightlife, galleries, cafes, and the creative pulse that continues to define the borough. Adding to the area’s momentum, a new Whole Foods Market Ridgewood is in development nearby, further elevating everyday convenience and long-term neighborhood appeal. From nightlife and art to coffee, culture, and connectivity, this is New York living at its most compelling—now paired with the rare advantage of space, flexibility, and private parking.

Ridgewood | Queens

Quick Profile

Unique for being a symbolic and literal bridge between Brooklyn and Queens, Ridgewood incorporates both distinct elements of these boroughs into its persona. Originally considered part of Brooklyn, the neighborhood broke off with Bushwick in the 1700s at a point called, appropriately, Arbitration Rock. When the blackout of 1977 occurred, the residents of Ridgewood only further wanted to dissociate themselves from their Bushwick neighbors as the bedlam that ensued in between the looting and the riots made them feel just a tad superior. 

And yet, just because its zip code changed didn’t mean Ridgewood could ever fully break free from its proximity and entwined identity with Bushwick. Pegged as the next “it” destination and hipster haven to move to circa 2016, Ridgewood has surprised many with its steady pace of growth, therefore well-maintained “neighborhood” feel. 

Rife with quiet blocks filled with quaint, colorful buildings, Ridgewood offers the bodegas and local businesses one also expects of “old world” Brooklyn. An increase in the number of coffee shops, bars and DIY venues have continued its natural association with Bushwick, however, the deeper into the neighborhood you go, the more apparent it becomes that Ridgewood is very much its own very Queensian thing.
