What is Ridgewood Village?

Ridgewood Village is a walkable, village-oriented community in which basic commercial services are close at hand and offers a range of opportunities for home ownership for working families and retirees. Ridgewood Village aims to minimize vehicle traffic, retain viewsheds of forested hillsides and promote healthy lifestyles with the establishment of four parks and preserving at least 200 acres as a community forest containing hiking trails.

Ridgewood Village is being developed by a joint venture of three local land-owning families that may provide up to 1,442 housing units and 327,000 square feet of neighborhood commercial development on 386 acres bordering the north side of Ridgewood Drive in Cutten. The project would progress in multiple phases from 15 to 30 years depending on market conditions.

Ridgewood Village is a planned community closely tied to the County's General Plan that allows for planning on a 30 year time scale, tying together its many phases with consideration given to how the project's community will interact with itself and the surrounding region. It offers an economy of scale not possible were this project to follow conventional procedures of selling of the land in bits and pieces to disparate developers disconnected from accountability for the impacts created on the region. Housing design will be made consistent throughout the project by the Master Plan and proposed development agreement.
