Location of proposed RST Residences, which will redevelop the Ridgewood Mobile Home Park property

Ridgewood Mobile Home Park was a mobile community off of U.S. 29 in northern Albemarle County, bordering the Forest Lakes subdivision. The community predated the construction of Ashwood Boulevard and the adjacent section of the Forest Lakes subdivision, according to a 1973 USGS topographic map.[1]

Redevelopment

The mobile home park, and an associated 10-unit efficiency apartment building, was sold to RST Development in October 2019 for $6 million.[2]

RST Development submitted a proposal in July 2020 to redevelop the property as a 370-unit apartment complex, referred to during the development and review process as 'RST Residences.' [3]

The Board of Supervisors approved a rezoning for the RST Development project in September 2021, changing the zoning of the property from R-1 Residential to Planned Residential Development, which allowed for the increased housing density. [4]

In the fall of 2023, the original project will not proceed and instead will go through the rezoning process once again. [citation needed]
