Real Estate Profile: Ridgefield’s West Mountain Estates Neighborhood
May 28th, 2008 categories: Market Data & Statistics, Recent Transactions, Ridgefield, Talking Real Estate
West Mountain Estates is another of Ridgefield’s most sought-after neighborhoods. The original 160 acre estate was purchased by well-known Ridgefield homebuilder Jerry Tuccio in 1959. Tuccio subdivided the property and the home building began in the mid 70’s and continued into the mid 80’s. Most West Mountain homes are traditional New England colonials with some ranch style homes mixed in. A few luxury homes have been added over the years including one just being finished on Calvary Court. One of the homes dating back from the original estate houses the Stone Ridge Manor bed and breakfast.
Sometimes called Eleven Levels (for the main road running through the sub-division), West Mountain Estates is very conveniently located on the west side of Ridgefield, close to town and near the New York border. This westside location makes it very desirable for those commuting to Westchester (Pepsi, IBM, and more).
One of the most popular amenities of the West Mountain neighborhood is the community Recreation Center. This outdoor facility springs to life each year on Memorial Day. The beautifully maintained facility sports an olympic-size outdoor pool, tennis courts, basketball courts, baseball diamond and soccer field. See the pictures below.

Rainbow Lake in Ridgefield CT: Real Estate Activity 2006-2008
May 8th, 2008 categories: Buying Your House, Lake Living, Market Data & Statistics, Recent Transactions, Ridgefield, Talking Real Estate
I have been fortunate enough to have lived on Rainbow Lake since November 2001. Over the years, there has been a lot of renovation, re-building, and refurbishing of the original lake cottages surrounding the lake that were built in the mid 1930’s to 1940’s. Rainbow Lake is a magnificent 44 acre lake nestled in a valley behind the Bennett’s Pond Trail System, Hemlock Hills, and Pierrepont State Park in Ridgefield, CT.
In the past few years we have seen an influx of city dwellers looking for a weekend retreat within 1 hour of NYC. Ridgefield’s Rainbow lake, with its quiet understated charm seems to fit the bill. Most of the homeowners of Rainbow Lake are here full-time, but the mix of weekenders and residents give it a resort feel in the heart of the New York suburbs.
Rainbow lake real estate values continue to increase as more and more people discover the allure of lake living. Following are all of the transactions from the past two years around Rainbow Lake. Note how many were listed, sold or both listed and sold by Rob and me. Nobody knows the lake like us and we are always available to answer any questions you might have about buying, selling or living on the lake. We are the ‘lake experts”!

Why Ridgefield is the Safest Town in CT and How to Keep it That Way
May 6th, 2008 categories: Market Data & Statistics, Ridgefield, Talking Real Estate
Crime is virtually unheard of in Ridgefield. We have our “police blotter” kind of stuff but by and large Ridgefield is one of the safest towns in Connecticut! Connecticut Magazine said that Ridgefield has the lowest crime score ever measured since they started their “Best Towns” survey. Low crime, great schools, rich culture and terrific property values make Ridgefield one of the best real estate deals in Fairfield County.
The town is so safe due to our wholesome, honest New England lifestyle and to the Ridgefield Police Department. To best protect our citizens and guests, the RPD needs to expand and renovate their Headquarters on East Ridge. The upcoming budget referendum will be requesting over $4 million for the RPD project. Click Here to see the latest piece in the Ridgefield Press and a virtual tour of the current Ridgefield Police Headquarters building. Additional Ridgefield Press articles are here and here.
Crime Stats for Ridgefield CT
Looking at the stats, you can see that the rate for property crimes is just a fraction of the county and state averages and the rate of violent crime is practically zero.
2006 Crime Statistics: % Population Affected
| Ridgefield | Fairfield County | Connecticut | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Property Crime | 0.34% | 2.22% | 2.50% |
| Violent Crime | 0.01% | 0.30% | 0.28% |
