Jon's Read · written October 26, 2026

Price here is driven by the homes themselves, not by amenities. With nothing identified from current MLS listings in the way of community features, what you pay reflects square footage, condition, and lot - and these are large homes, a median around 3,056 square feet. Built between 1992 and 2019 with a median build year of 1997, the stock skews toward established construction, so updates and renovation state will separate one listing from the next more than anything else.

Right now there are zero active listings against 171 homes, so this is a thin, closely held market. For a seller, that scarcity means a well-prepared home faces little direct competition when it does come up. For a buyer, patience and readiness matter more than speed-shopping - you may be waiting for the right door to open rather than choosing among several. With a homestead share just over half, a meaningful portion of these are owner-occupied rather than churning rentals.

Figures in this note are as of October 26, 2026. The live market numbers elsewhere on this page update nightly and are newer.

The 60-Second Overview

Forest/Ridgewood is a small, established pocket of large homes in Davenport, Polk County, where the draw is interior space and setting rather than built-in community amenities. With no active listings at this snapshot, it trades quietly and infrequently.

Stellar MLS sales records identify 12 homes in FOREST/RIDGEWOOD that have changed hands since 2017, built between 1992 and 2014 (median 1999), with a median living area of about 2,597 sq ft and a typical 4-bedroom, 3-bath layout; 100% are single-family homes. Source: Stellar MLS closed-sale history compiled by Momentum Research; counts reflect homes with a recorded MLS sale, not every home in the community.

Pre-construction details are compiled from public records, builder announcements and builder listings, and are subject to change without notice; figures are deemed reliable but not guaranteed. Momentum Research figures are our own analysis. This page describes homes, pricing and community attributes, not residents.

Best for

  • Buying for interior space and a settled, established setting
  • Buyers who can be patient and ready when a rare listing appears
  • Buying to hold and occupy rather than flip quickly

Probably not for

  • Needing community amenities like a pool, gym, or clubhouse
  • Wanting to shop several active listings and close fast
  • Seeking turnkey new construction with modern systems already in place

If we were buying in Forest/Ridgewood today, this is the order of operations we would run for our clients.

1

Underwrite the condition first. Price the roof, HVAC, and systems honestly before judging any list price; condition swings value here more than square footage alone.

2

Match the home to real comps. Recent sales of similar condition and lot, not the asking price, tell you what a home is worth.

3

Move deliberately, not desperately. Neither side has a decisive edge, so a well-prepared, fairly-priced offer wins without overpaying.

4

Line up financing and inspection early. A pre-approval and an inspection plan let you act fast and negotiate from evidence.

5

Keep an agent in your corner. The listing agent works for the seller; we represent you and prepare a hand-built valuation before any offer in Forest/Ridgewood.

Best Buy
Buyers who want large square footage in an established, low-turnover pocket of Davenport.
Biggest Risk
With zero active listings, availability is unpredictable and you may wait.
Sweet Spot
A well-maintained or updated home in the 3,000-plus square-foot range.
Avoid If
You need built-in amenities or a quick, pick-from-several purchase.

Space over amenities

The defining trait here is size. A median living area around 3,056 square feet is substantial, and with no amenity package to lean on, the value proposition is square footage and the home's own condition. Expect a wide spread between a tired, original-finish house and one that's been reworked - condition, not a price band, is what you'll be underwriting.

The build range runs 1992 to 2019, but the median year built of 1997 tells you the bulk of this inventory is not new. That's a benefit for buyers who want mature lots and settled construction, and a to-do list item for anyone who wants systems and finishes already modernized. Davenport's position in Polk County puts you outside the densest metro cores, which is part of the trade: more house, quieter setting, fewer walk-to amenities.

“

The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Forest/Ridgewood. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
