Hill, valley, highway
Ridgefield takes its name from its land. Locals split it into three parts: Ridgefield itself, in the valley and on the first hill; Morsemere in the north; and Ridgefield Heights on the second hill, at the far east side.
Most homes are houses. About four in ten are detached single-family houses, and nearly three in ten sit in two-family houses. About half the households own their home.
Roads that help, and one to take slowly
The New Jersey Turnpike, Broad Avenue (US 1/9), US 46, Route 93 and Route 5 all pass through Ridgefield. That makes truck access simple, but these roads crowd at rush hour, and we time the start of your move around that.
Headed to Edgewater? Route 5 runs from Broad Avenue east down the Palisades to River Road, with hairpin turns on the descent. The crew ties the load down for those curves.
Local history: in 1913, artists including Man Ray started the Grantwood colony here. Sketch Place, Studio Road and Art Lane keep its memory.
Before moving day
- On the Heights? Count the steps from the street to your door.
- Two-family house? Agree on the date with the other unit.
- Clear the driveway if the truck can use it.
- List the big pieces: sofa, beds, dining table, piano.
- Pick two or three dates that work for you.
How pricing works: local moves start at a $385 minimum flat rate. First comes a free written estimate; the rate and terms reach you in writing before moving day. Your final cost depends on how much you move. Extra items or services are confirmed in writing before the crew adds them.
Also near you: Palisades Park and Fairview. Coming from New York? Our NYC to New Jersey page shows the crossing from each borough.
