While the village median is around $1.1M, the true luxury market begins at $1.7M and quickly scales to $4M+ for significant estates. In this bracket, you aren’t just buying a house; you’re buying craftsmanship. We’re seeing a high demand for "smart luxury"—historic Tudor or Victorian exteriors that have been completely reimagined with ultra-modern, open-concept interiors and high-end tech.
If seclusion is your priority, The Heights is the gold standard. Situated on the village's western ridge, it offers larger lots and elevated views. For those who want an "old-money" feel with grand lawns and proximity to the golf course, Upper Ridgewood is the premier choice. If you want high-end living with the ability to walk to the train or a morning latte, the Willard district is the most sought-after pocket for families.
Absolutely. Ridgewood Public Schools are consistently ranked in the Top 5 in New Jersey (and Top 100 nationally). This "Tradition of Excellence" acts as a financial safety net. Even for buyers without children, the district's status keeps demand high and inventory low, making luxury homes here remarkably recession-resistant compared to other Bergen County suburbs.
Ridgewood is arguably the best-connected luxury suburb in the state. The train station is the heart of the village, offering service to Penn Station or the PATH via Secaucus in about 50–60 minutes. If you prefer the bus, the "Park and Ride" on Route 17 offers a direct shot to Port Authority in about 40–45 minutes. For drivers, it’s a 20-mile trip to the GWB, though locals know the "Blue Law" Sundays are the best time to enjoy the area's legendary peace and quiet.
Ridgewood takes its aesthetic heritage seriously. The village has a dedicated Historic Preservation Commission that oversees certain districts to ensure the town's character remains intact. Many luxury buyers here work with specialized local architects to execute "invisible" modernizations—upgrading the HVAC, kitchens, and smart home systems while meticulously preserving the 1920s slate roofs and original millwork.
