Park Ridge: A Neighborhood That Feels Like Home

Welcome to Park Ridge, one of University Place’s most charming and well-maintained neighborhoods—a place where you’ll find more than just a house; you’ll find a true sense of community. Nestled among mature trees, serene streets, and friendly cul-de-sacs, Park Ridge has been a sought-after destination for homeowners since its development. With its rich variety of home styles, this neighborhood offers something for everyone.

 

Why Homeowners Love Park Ridge

 

Park Ridge is managed by an HOA that strikes the perfect balance. They maintain the integrity and charm of the neighborhood without overstepping or being intrusive. The well-kept islands in the cul-de-sacs and the private park at the heart of the development are standout features that residents love. These shared spaces are not just about aesthetics—they foster a sense of pride and belonging among neighbors.

The neighborhood’s history is as appealing as its homes. Originally designed with about 160 residences in the 1970s, Park Ridge has evolved over the years, offering a variety of architectural styles that give each home its unique character. Whether you’re drawn to the charm of a mid-century aesthetic or the modern updates of a newer build, you’ll find it here.

 

An Unbeatable Location

 

Park Ridge doesn’t just offer beautiful homes and a welcoming community—it also boasts an unbeatable location. The neighborhood is just a short drive from Chambers Bay Golf Course and Trails, an internationally acclaimed destination that offers breathtaking views, world-class golfing, and miles of walking and biking paths. Whether you’re looking to hit the greens, explore the trails, or simply enjoy the stunning Puget Sound vistas, Chambers Bay is right at your doorstep.

 

In addition, Park Ridge is located within the boundaries of University Place’s top-rated schools, making it a highly desirable neighborhood for families. The combination of excellent education, a safe and friendly atmosphere, and easy access to outdoor recreation truly makes this community one of a kind.
