Explore Raleigh building permits, RPD crime data and Residential-4 zoning in Ridgewood, around Ridge Road and Wade Avenue near Meredith College.
Search this neighborhoodRidgewood is the residential area around Ridge Road and Wade Avenue west of the Beltline, near Meredith College and the Ridgewood shopping district on Wade Avenue. About half of it is Residential-4 land, and new dwelling permits lead active filings.
Ridge Road Park & Pool, Hymettus Woods Park, Six Oaks Park, the House Creek Greenway and the Meredith College Greenway are inside it. GoRaleigh routes 4 and 9 serve the area. Meredith College has its own campus police and is cut out of the boundary. The boundary is built from census block groups, so it follows streets and creeks but is not an association or historic-district line.
CivicScout counts Raleigh Police reported offenses that carry a location, traffic crashes and open 311 requests inside the Ridgewood boundary for any searched address. RPD withholds the location of most sexual offenses and every child-abuse report, so located counts understate violent crime. Police place incidents on the block’s street, so offenses within about 30 meters of the outline are counted, and an offense on a street shared by two neighborhoods counts toward both. Raleigh publishes no code violations feed, so this page does not cover one. Meredith College, which has its own campus police, is outside this outline.
