    "what's nice about the Ridgewood area there are two really different areas east of Bridge Street and West of Bridge Street the section west of Brick Street is in unincorporated Joliet Township which is also known as Joliet. But it's like a Hidden Gem the values have not risen crazy high Pilcher Park Nature Center Highland Park Frisbee golf and bird Haven Park higginbottom Woods are all nearby as well as the Woodruff golf course. Houses don't come up for sale very often and let's hope the values don't creep up to crazy"

Recommend having a fence up or you will be picking up feces regularly."

One of the parks at an entrence of the trail is a dog park and it tends to be busy, usually plenty of other dogs there. You do have to pay a fee however to bring your dog here."
