Village Overview
Why Buyers Choose Pine Ridge
Pine Ridge takes advantage of a wooded setting that gives it a character somewhat distinct from the typical open landscaping of many south-of-466 villages. For buyers relocating from wooded areas of the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic who want some tree coverage, Pine Ridge offers that within the south-of-466 context.
Premium lots — those with direct wooded views or backing to preserve areas — command a meaningful premium over inland lots within the village. The base price range reflects this. Construction is mid-to-late 2000s with the larger floor plans that characterize that era. Bond balances are mid-range for the south section.
Bond note: Pine Ridge bonds typically range $12K–$25K depending on the specific property's construction date and how much the previous owner paid down. Always request the CDD district payoff statement during your inspection period — before you commit. Two homes at similar prices in this village can carry meaningfully different bond balances.
