I was raised in Ridgewood Queens. I think itâs cool because I was raised here but in this instance idk if this is just the landlords trying to market ridgewood as âcoolâ so that people with $$$ can move in or if itâs genuinely cool. Iâm leaning towards the former but honestly i donât care, i want what is best for my hometown even if one day only millionaires can move in. Life goes on.

đđđđđđ ridgewood is anything but calm. The only reason why itâs âcoolâ is bc the yuppies came go back 15 years ridgewood was the hood.

@kennethvega7242Whenever they mention diversity, stay away.
@xmutaNo, itâs not.
@xmutaHa, what a joke! The whole NYC is a sh!thole now.
Before was because of the Dominicans and now the Venezuelans. From bad to worse!
Who are you kidding???
Hip? Yea. No thank you.
@gracebonezLuv every bit of it
@carmasivanandaLoved this! Ridgewood in Top 5 Coolest neighborhoods in the world and close to the hip neighborhood of Buswick. Wow, things must have really changed since I moved to FL in 2003. đ
@robinboccia7622It was "Cool" when it was mostly German occupied.
@silkscreenart5515you could draw a graph with "cool" on y and rent on x... 1:1 increase.. happened to Greenpoint too. Welcome children of the 1%
@Thats_HelpfulThis title looks like it was written by a first grader
@Thats_HelpfulI 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..
@QueensNativeNYCcrime infested neighborhood, stay away! you can get shot walking your dog
@Michelle-wy1ldIâve 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. Itâs a 90 min ride without traffic. I love it here and so do my cats. Theyâre 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 didnât 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. Itâs a great place to live. But good luck finding parking. Itâs very bad, IF you donât know how . I knew how and I always got a spot for my car. But itâs almost impossible to find a spot after 6pm.
@Puddycat58Yeah itâs so cool that all the people that used to live there were forced to move for these yuppies

@Travel_Clip_VideosIt's cool in its own way. People are moving in and changing the neighborhood. It looks better than before after they renovate those store fronts
@Travel_Clip_VideosAnd just like that, it will be officially gentrified with basic ass white girls from Michigan
