Ridgewood is an established, single-family neighborhood on Jacksonville's Southside, in Duval County, built out largely in the mid-twentieth century. Homes here run one and two-story brick and frame construction on mid-size lots along a grid street pattern centered on Ridgewood Road and Ridgewood Avenue. Because these are resale homes rather than new construction, each one trades on its own condition, updates, and lot rather than on a builder price sheet.
realMLS (Northeast Florida) sales records identify 108 homes in Ridgewood that have changed hands since 2001, built between 1942 and 2026 (median 1947), with a median living area of about 1,340 sq ft and a typical 3-bedroom, 1.5-bath layout; 98% are single-family homes. Source: realMLS (Northeast Florida) closed-sale history compiled by Momentum Research; counts reflect homes with a recorded MLS sale, not every home in the community.
The neighborhood sits directly adjacent to San Marco, one of Jacksonville's more established, historic districts, putting San Marco Square's shops and restaurants within easy reach. Because it borders a recognized district without carrying San Marco's own name or historic-district status, homes here have generally traded at a different price point than San Marco proper, while sharing much of the same locational convenience.
The bigger picture is location. The Southside sits just south of downtown Jacksonville across the St. Johns River, giving residents a comparatively short commute to downtown employment, the sports and entertainment district, and the broader Southside retail and medical corridor. As with any older Jacksonville neighborhood, buyers should verify flood zone status and the age of roof and systems on a specific home before making an offer.
