i meant, "is ridgefield and ridgefield park totally two different towns"

sorry for repeating ridgefield twice haha

are both of the towns similar or something? or are they totally different? cuz some people get confused between ridgefield and ridgefield park. i used to live in ridgefield park, but people always think it's ridgefield.

yes, they are two totally separate municipalities. they have some basic similarities but ridgefield is a bit nicer and has more asians and fewer latinos. both have some industrial zones in their marshy areas. ridgefield park tends to have older housing while ridgefield has a lot of newer construction, especially of the two family variety. ridgefield park has a large high school (in part because little ferry students also attend the school) while ridgefield's high school is quite small.

You have to be careful when looking for Ridgefield. Make sure you include the zip code or the state. I live in Ridgefield, Washington. (confused with Washington D.C) near Vancouver,Washington (confused with Vancouver B.C)and Ridgefield, Washington (confused with Ridgefield, Conn) Thank God for zip codes.
