A WestRidge Blog
Frequently I stop by Ariba’s to pick up my fresh ground large cup of coffee. The location is perfect because I can be at WestRidge in minutes and still have piping hot coffee. There is never a problem finding a parking space right on Main Street. The only real decision I have is whether I am in the mood for one of their fresh baked pastries or egg, cheese and sausage served on a warm croissant. Starbucks has nothing on Ariba!
The parties have started at WestRidge! On December 19th thirty of the current WestRidge residents joined with Ann Sommers, WestRidge’s Sales Manger, for a magnificent holiday party in the Ipswich model.
Everyone enjoyed themselves late into the night with the party running until midnight! There was an abundance of food, laughter, and a lot of love. Residents graciously offered to help decorate before the party and many stayed to assist with the clean up. It is clear that WestRidge is growing into a wonderful community.

Marco & Deb Brancato
WestRidge welcomes its soon to be newest home owners! We had an opportunity to ask the Brancato’s to provide an overview of their experience.
Q: Why did you end up joining the WestRidge community?
A: We lived in Norwood, MA for many years and spent a great deal of time driving through various towns looking at 55 plus communities. We fell in love with the long and winding entrance to WestRidge as a start. Once we arrived, WestRidge felt like a traditional neighborhood and made us feel like we had arrived home. The entire neighborhood with its classic homestyles is so unique compared to the other communities we visited. It has a Beacon Hill feeling with its parks and open spaces. This is not your typical “cookie cutter” neighborhood. Continue reading

WestRidge's new Sales Manager, Ann Sommers.
An overwhelming number of homeowners attended a recent event to welcome their new Sales Manager, Ann Sommers, to WestRidge. Although Ann is new to the area, she is not new to the industry. As she moved through the room she was welcomed by all. While the evening was buzzing with the sound of laughter and an exchange of ideas for the community, there was one sad note. A man so many had relied on and inevitably become friends with was leaving to start the next chapter in his life. Bill Mullin toured the room saying farewell to the people and the community he watched grow. In the mix of people enjoying the festivities was Lloyd Geisinger, President of Thorndike Development. Lloyd, along with David Eastridge, our Project Manager and Ben Geisinger, our Assistant Project Manager, were some of the last to leave. All and all it was a pleasant night filled with good drink, plenty of food and an abundance of laughter! Check out more pictures from the event below!
