About Ridgefield
Ridgefield is a small, densely settled borough in eastern Bergen County with deep roots: the English Neighborhood Reformed Church (1793) is its oldest building, the Grantwood section was once an artists' colony, and the Skeetkill Creek/Overpeck Creek marshes shaped its early geography. Neighborhoods include Morsemere and Ridgefield Heights. Housing is a mix of modest single-family homes and multifamily buildings, with commercial corridors along Broad Avenue and Bergen Boulevard.
