Ridgefield's housing stock is mostly mid-century or older. The median year built is 1957, and about 56% of housing units were built before 1960 (21% before 1940). Only about 10% date from 2000 or later.
Single-family detached houses make up 43% of housing units, and two-unit buildings another 29%, so two-family homes are a large part of the market. About 51% of occupied homes are owner-occupied.
Utility gas heats 80% of occupied homes; electricity heats about 9%, bottled or tank gas 5% and fuel oil 2%.

Flooding
Ridgefield has real flood exposure on its low-lying edges. FEMA's National Flood Hazard Layer maps Special Flood Hazard Areas (Zone AE, including regulatory floodways) within the borough along Wolf Creek, Bellmans Creek, Overpeck Creek and the Hackensack River, plus 0.2%-annual-chance (Zone X shaded) areas. Bergen County's current FEMA flood maps took effect on August 28, 2019. The borough's Office of Emergency Management page is the local emergency contact; no flood-specific borough page was found. To check a specific address, use the FEMA Flood Map Service Center.
