“I moved here in 2000 because I owned a hair salon in downtown Baltimore, and I wanted to be able to walk to work. I was looking at other neighborhoods that were within walking distance, and the prices were just too expensive at the time. Ridgely’s was just very affordable and it’s very friendly.

As soon as I moved in, my neighbor across the alley came and introduced herself, the next-door neighbors introduced themselves. In my old neighborhood, where I lived for nine years, I don’t think I could tell you what my neighbors’ names were. I started going to baseball games with my Ridgley’s neighbors and I’ve had season tickets since I moved in. Even when the Orioles are playing terribly, it’s an event for our neighborhood. Instead of going to a neighborhood bar or going out someplace, we’re going to a baseball game.”

—Susan Clayton, a Ridgely’s Delight resident of 22 years and the owner of running apparel company WhitePaws RunMitts.
