About Ridgewood, Queens

Ridgewood is a residential neighborhood in western Queens, home to roughly 69,000 residents in the 11385 ZIP code. It is bordered by Bushwick to the southwest, Maspeth to the north, Glendale and Middle Village to the east, and Highland Park and the Ridgewood Reservoir to the south. The neighborhood historically straddled the Queens-Brooklyn line, and many longtime residents still think of Ridgewood and Bushwick as one connected community.

Originally settled as Dutch farmland, Ridgewood grew rapidly in the early 20th century as German immigrants built the brick row houses that still define its streets. Today it remains one of the most architecturally intact neighborhoods in New York City, with a strong sense of community, family-owned businesses, and generations of families living on the same blocks.

Historic Districts and Architectural Heritage

Ridgewood holds more historic districts than any other neighborhood in Queens. Ten national historic districts were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983, including the Central Ridgewood, Stockholm-DeKalb-Hart, and Summerfield Street Row Historic Districts. The New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission has also designated the Stockholm Street, Ridgewood North, and Ridgewood South Historic Districts.

The neighborhood’s signature tan and yellow brick row houses, many built in the early 1900s, give Ridgewood its distinctive look. The Vander Ende-Onderdonk House, an 18th-century Dutch colonial farmhouse on Flushing Avenue, marks the historic boundary between Queens and Brooklyn and stands as one of the oldest structures in the area.

Community Demographics and Healthcare Needs

Ridgewood has long been a neighborhood of working families. Its German roots were joined over the decades by Polish, Romanian, and other Eastern European communities, along with large and growing Latino populations from Puerto Rico, the Dominican Republic, Mexico, Ecuador, and Central America. In recent years, young professionals and artists have also moved in, drawn by the neighborhood’s character and transit access.

Many Ridgewood residents work in construction, transportation, delivery, retail, food service, and healthcare, jobs that come with a real risk of workplace injury. Heavy traffic along Myrtle Avenue, Metropolitan Avenue, and Fresh Pond Road also means car, bicycle, and pedestrian accidents are a genuine concern. When these injuries happen, residents need doctors who understand both the medical side of recovery and the paperwork that comes with No-Fault and Workers’ Compensation claims.

Economic Development and Employment

Myrtle Avenue is Ridgewood’s main commercial artery, and its Business Improvement District runs from Wyckoff Avenue to Fresh Pond Road. Fresh Pond Road serves as a second shopping corridor, lined with European bakeries, delis, restaurants, and family-owned shops. Nearby industrial areas in Maspeth and North Ridgewood support warehouse, trucking, and manufacturing jobs, while new independent businesses continue to open around the Myrtle-Wyckoff area.
