Ritter Park Neighborhood Guide
Ritter Park is one of Huntington's most recognized historic neighborhoods, anchored by the beloved park that shares its name and draws residents and visitors alike with its rose garden, scenic running trail, and open green space along the Southside. The housing stock along 13th Avenue and the surrounding streets reflects the neighborhood's old-money character, with well-maintained homes that attract a mix of longtime owners and university-connected professionals. Life here tends to revolve around the park itself, whether that means a morning run, a weekend wedding in the rose garden, or simply walking a dog through one of the city's most photogenic settings. Parking can be a genuine headache on festival days and sunny afternoons, a small but real trade-off for living next to a space this well-used and well-loved.
