River Ridge is a gated community of 173 single-family homes in Tequesta, about two miles north of the Jupiter Inlet. Its standout feature is water: 43 homes sit in the mangroves along the Loxahatchee River with direct water access, and 48 more surround the community’s lakes.
Stefan’s take
River Ridge is all trees, foliage and beautiful homes, tucked along County Line Road on the Martin County side. Some homes have boat access right to the river, which makes this a special find for buyers who want privacy and the water in the same place.
