River Ridge Real Estate

River Ridge homes offer intense architectural features in this small community which stretches but a short distance up the river. Homes first began to be developed in River Ridge in the 1950’s and there is much variety in the types of homes that residents dwell in here. There are spacious plantation-style mansions as well as Acadian cottages and more modern single family homes, duplexes and apartments. The homes contain such features as arches and columns, which combined with the oak and magnolia trees creates a truly Southern ambiance.
