Ridgeway pairs small-town ease with year-round energy, thanks to its historic Ridge Road core and a lively calendar of community happenings. As part of Fort Erie, the neighborhood invites strolls to indie cafés, galleries, and locally owned eateries, while Saturday mornings hum at the Ridgeway Farmers’ Market and summertime brings live music and street vendors during the Ridgeway Summer Festival. Cyclists and runners love the paved Friendship Trail, which threads through town and links to Lake Erie vistas and wooded stretches.
Beach days are minutes away in Crystal Beach, where Bay Beach’s wide sands and clear water make warm-weather weekends feel like a getaway. Nature lovers can add birding, paddling, and scenic drives along the lakeshore to the mix, while the Fort Erie Public Library’s Crystal Ridge branch and the Crystal Ridge Community Centre keep arts, recreation, and programs close at hand.
Families appreciate local schooling options: John Brant Public School serves younger students, and Greater Fort Erie Secondary School offers extensive academics, athletics, and tech programs. Commuters find practical access to regional employers and shopping in Niagara Falls, Port Colborne, and Welland, all within a comfortable drive.
Whether you’re drawn by the walkable main street or the lakeshore lifestyle, Ridgeway offers an easygoing pace without sacrificing convenience. When it’s time to buy or sell here, Agent Pronto can connect you with a trusted local real estate professional to guide every step.
