Pleasant Ridge

Description:
From its roots as an agricultural community, Pleasant Ridge evolves into a retreat for wealthy industrialists and their country mansions. This area remains primarily residential today, providing an impressive selection of well-maintained Cape Cods, Tudors, and traditional two-story colonials shaded by a canopy of trees. Many of these attractive lanes are still aglow with gas lamp lights on starry evenings. Neighborhood clubs and lively block parties are commonplace in this warm and close atmosphere, and the local business association seeks to improve and stimulate local commerce. Community events draw enthusiast crowds to shared activities like tree lightings or holiday luminarias. Downtown is just a 15-minute drive from home and the airport is 30 minutes away.
