I was raised in Ridgewood Queens. I think it’s cool because I was raised here but in this instance idk if this is just the landlords trying to market ridgewood as “cool” so that people with $$$ can move in or if it’s genuinely cool. I’m leaning towards the former but honestly i don’t care, i want what is best for my hometown even if one day only millionaires can move in. Life goes on.

😂😂😂😂😂😂 ridgewood is anything but calm. The only reason why it’s “cool” is bc the yuppies came go back 15 years ridgewood was the hood.

Ridgewood was cool in the 1970s before these hipsters were born, not now.

I live right on the border of Ridgewood.. A small town called Maspeth, which is much less popular than Ridgewood.. But I've always considered Ridgewood a part of my hometown..

I’ve lived here all my life, in a $800 a month 6 room apartment on top floor . I loved it there. We just moved out a few yrs ago coz the landlords were offering up to $100,000 to break the lease. So we used the money to put a down payment to buy a house in a small beach town in NJ. We have a beautiful 3 bedroom two bath house with huge fenced in yard, a private small beach near by and 15 mins away is the Jersey Shore. Shoprite and all stores are within walking distance, and right in front of ShopRite is the bus that goes to NYC if I want to go visit. It’s a 90 min ride without traffic. I love it here and so do my cats. They’re outside all day and only come in to eat and sleep . They finally get to be cats. One of my cats named Slick has a bff already. They hang out together. My other cat just lays on the back deck watching birds and chasing squirrels. But yeah if we didn’t have this chance, we would have stayed in Ridgewood. I had a job that paid me a take home pay of $600 a week. My work was within walking distance and it was just answering phones and making appointments. When I moved out I gave my job to one of my friends. I can definitely understand why Ridgewood is so popular. It’s a great place to live. But good luck finding parking. It’s very bad, IF you don’t know how . I knew how and I always got a spot for my car. But it’s almost impossible to find a spot after 6pm.

Yeah it’s so cool that all the people that used to live there were forced to move for these yuppies
