“I feel so comfortable and safe, it’s fun knowing my neighbors and their kids and their pets who for some reason always end up in my yard. But it’s still quiet…I like being in the medical district, I can literally walk to my dentist and doctors.”
A tiny collection of plots lined with splendid bungalow homes tucked between Rosedale and Oakmont Heights makes up the Ridgelea Neighborhood in Central Austin. Shaded yards and hidden streets allow families and professionals to live close-in but feel hidden from the rush of city life. The medical community wraps around this neighborhood and easy access to 45th street and 38th street means getting to UT, Downtown, North or South Austin, and area lakes will be easy and fast. Hike or ride along Shoal Creek greenbelt or play on shaded playgrounds at Ramsey Park. Meander through the boutiques at Kerbey Lane then enjoy famous pancakes from Kerbey Lane Café. Austin favorite Hilbert’s hamburgers can be found just a stone’s throw away from Ridgelea. . Find those hard to acquire necessities at 26 Doors shopping Center on 38th street then catch a brunch with one of a kind Spicy Jalapeño & Bacon pancakes at Santa Rita Cantina. Small but shining in the center of a thriving community, Ridgelea offers congenial city living at an affordable price.
Ridgelea Neighborhood Association exists but is not found online; it often joins with Oakmont Heights and Rosedale Neighborhood Association in community proposals
