Ridgewood
An established Gainesville pocket with room to breathe
Ridgewood sits within Gainesville's steady residential fabric, the kind of established neighborhood where mature trees and generously sized lots do the talking. Homes here run around 1,920 square feet on average, giving families real space without the price tag of the city's marquee golf communities. If you're weighing options across town, it's worth comparing Ridgewood against neighbors like Haile Plantation, Oakmont, and the historic Duckpond to see where the value lands.
The market here is small and slow-moving, which cuts both ways for a buyer. There's currently just one active listing at $324,900, while the five homes sold over the past year closed at a median of $439,000 — a gap that tells you inventory is thin and the right house doesn't come along often. Sellers are getting about 99% of asking, so when something fits, come prepared. Browse the full picture on the live map or widen your search across Gainesville homes for sale.

Ridgewood FAQs
Is Ridgewood a good place to live?+
Ridgewood suits buyers who want an established, family-scaled Gainesville neighborhood with homes averaging 1,920 square feet. It's assigned to Gainesville High School along with Littlewood Elementary and Westwood Middle, and sits close to the city's more recognized communities. The trade-off is a quiet resale market with few homes changing hands.
Is Ridgewood expensive?+
It lands in the mid-range for Gainesville, with the current active listing at $324,900 and an average price of about $169 per square foot. Sold homes over the past year had a higher median of $439,000, reflecting the larger properties that trade here. Compared to golf enclaves like Oakmont, Ridgewood tends to offer more square footage for the money.
What do homes cost in Ridgewood?+
Right now the single active listing is priced at $324,900, while the five homes sold in the last 12 months closed at a median of $439,000. That spread reflects thin inventory rather than a soft market, so pricing depends heavily on the specific home. Watching the live map is the best way to catch new listings early.
How is the Ridgewood housing market?+
It's a low-volume, seller-friendly market — just five homes sold over the past year, with sellers averaging 99% of their asking price. The median days on market is 104, so homes can sit while the right buyer appears, but well-priced listings still command close to full ask. If you want more active options, the broader Gainesville homes for sale inventory gives you room to compare.
What about HOA fees and property taxes in Ridgewood?+
Median property tax runs about $2,956 per year, which is manageable for the home sizes here. HOA data isn't available for the current inventory, so confirm any dues on a specific property before you write an offer. For neighborhoods with more structured HOAs, Haile Plantation is a useful point of comparison.
