    Are The Ridge and Freeman Lane good places to live?

    If you want space, yes. The Ridge has custom EnergyStar homes in a wooded setting near the 401, and Freeman Lane has big homes on generous lots beside a park. Both need a car, and prices sit above the city median.

    Where are The Ridge and Freeman Lane in St. Thomas, Ontario?

    Freeman Lane is in the northwest, just off the St. Thomas Expressway beside Lynhurst Community Park. The Ridge is a separate wooded area that one guide places under 5 minutes from Highway 401. Ask us for its exact streets.

    What schools serve The Ridge and Freeman Lane?

    Are homes in The Ridge energy efficient?

    Yes. Every home there is described as a custom build to EnergyStar standards.

    Why are these considered premium areas?

    Both give you more room than the newer starter subdivisions. The Ridge does it with custom homes among the trees, and Freeman Lane with big lots on an established street.
