This is a neighborhood I mention quite a bit as being a sleeper of a neighborhood. It is small and relatively unknown by most Tampa residents. Most people recognize the names of its neighbors, Tampa Heights and Riverside Heights, but many, if not most, have not heard of Ridgewood Park. If you’ve ever been to Rick’s On The River, just look across the river to Ridgewood Park.

Ridgewood Park is comprised of 83 acres of land adjacent to the Hillsborough River, due north of the University of Tampa and Blake High School. Its boundaries are North Boulevard to the east, Columbus Drive to the north, and the Hillsborough River to the south and west. It is home to the Cruise-a-Cade boating club, and is primarily residential properties with homes built in the early to mid-1900’s, many of which are bungalow style.
Ridgewood Park is in close proximity to downtown Tampa and just across N Boulevard Street from “The Heights“, a recently approved, $500 million mixed-use project.
