Village of Ridgewood Considers Apt. Density

RIDGEWOOD, NJ-The Village of Ridgewood is currently mulling whether to revise its master plan to allow high-density multi-family developments in the downtown district, but some residents are saying not so fast.

At present there are four housing proposals before the village’s Planning Board. One such project, a 52-unit project on East Ridgewood Avenue called The Enclave, was presented last week, according to The Record. Village Planner Blais Brancheau recently completed a study commissioned by the Planning Board into The Enclave and three proposed developments: The Dayton, a 106-unit apartment building for South Broad Street; the 50-unit Chestnut Village on Chestnut Street; and Ridgewood Station, a 114-luxury apartment and retail complex at the former Ken Smith Motors.
