Ridgewood

Brick rowhouses and a distinctive street rhythm.

Ridgewood’s residential blocks are known for attached brick buildings, often with projecting bays and detailed cornices. Smaller apartment houses and newer additions create variety within a streetscape that connects closely with neighboring Brooklyn.

Myrtle Avenue and Fresh Pond Road are important commercial corridors. The neighborhood’s appeal is rooted in the scale of its blocks and the continuity of its architecture, with individual buildings offering different layouts and relationships to the street.
