The neighborhood

Ridgewood

Ridgewood straddles the Brooklyn-Queens border and has become one of the city's hottest neighborhoods for artists and young professionals priced out of Bushwick. The Ridgewood Reservoir in Highland Park, the intact pre-war commercial streets, and a growing bar scene on Seneca Avenue make it increasingly desirable.
