Ridge Community
Our
town is the gateway to the Pine Barrens. We are located east of Middle
Island and west of Calverton in Suffolk County. Ridge, a rural oasis in
the middle of suburbia, is considered horse country by some people. Our
184 acre Environmental Conservation area features hiking, equestrian and
nature trails. Since development on the Pine Barrens is banned, Ridge
should remain sparsely populated.
Ridge's business district is made up of a few convenience stores and gas
station, some restaurants and small eateries and the Ridge Post Office
located on route 25. King Kullen and K-Mart are located to the west.
The LIRR does not have a station in Ridge. Nearby trains in Shirley,
Yaphank, or Port Jefferson take an hour and 15 minutes to get to Penn
Station. The faster electric train in Ronkonkoma only takes an hour.
Ridge is located 50 mile outside Manhattan.
