The Homes The lower section of the neighborhood was developed in the 1970s and the upper, more affluent, section was developed in the early 1980s. Houses in lower Mariners Ridge were built using a selection of floor plans that incorporated the ridge’s landscape. All of the homes in upper Mariners Ridge, however, were custom designed and built. Though the vast majority of houses in the neighborhood were built in the ‘70s and 80s, many have since undergone renovations to incorporate modern design elements, modern appliances, and even add additional rooms. From the beginning, the architecture of each house was designed to take advantage of the ridge location and hilltop perspective. Many Mariners Ridge homes offer views from almost every room in the house, along with expansive lanais that also showcase the beautiful views. Additionally, some houses have a private pool or jacuzzi, perfect for enjoying the scenery or the stars at night.
