Have you heard that Ridgewood is the next hip neighborhood in NYC? Yeah, we thought so. Just in case you weren’t sure, the New York Daily News profiled the growing neighborhood this morning. Ridgewood: it’s got hip restaurants like Bunker, the art and music space Silent Barn, it’s close to the L train, and it’s got industrial areas that appeal to creative types as well as Renaissance Revival residential blocks. Rents are going up, with two bedrooms priced around $1,450 a month and one bedrooms asking between $1,100 and $1,300. To buy a home here, prices hover around $700,000.
