About Route 7 Gateway
Route 7 Gateway is a small Census-designated place of about 1,100 along the US-7 corridor in Ridgefield, first listed in the 2020 census. It's essentially the commercial and residential strip on Ridgefield's east side — convenient to Ridgefield's Main Street village and the Metro-North stations in town. Housing is a mix of condos, townhouses, and single-family homes; the draw is Ridgefield schools and NYC access without the village price tag.
