Most of the homes were originally built in the late 1990's to the mid 2000's, with most homes being 2 story with some ranch style, as well as a few bi-, tri-, and 4 level homes. Since then, many of the homes have had updates and it's not uncommon to find homes that have extensive finished basements adding to the square footage of some of these great homes. The smallest homes in the neighborhood start with 2 bedrooms while the larger floor plans have a 5 bedroom layout with some of the homes that have finished basements. Most of the lots range between .11 - .21 acres but the range of properties in the neighborhood are .11 - .34 acres. There are also sections of this subdivision that have townhomes, that are well maintained and add to the economic diversity of Ridgewood Hills. HOA fees include taking care of the common ammenities and parks/recreation areas, common utilities, management, clubhouse, and pool. This fee currently runs between $300 and $596 per year, depending on what section you live. I believe the lower HOA fees might have been grandfathered in from the early construction as it appears the the homes built in the late 90's have the lower HOA dues. Neighborhood propery taxes generally range from $1000-$2200.
