About Ridgetop Apartments in Collegetown

It all begins with a change.

Ridgetop Apartments in Collegetown, originally Fontana Apartments, offers safe, clean, modern apartments for one to five people, located one block from Cornell University, on Upper Eddy Street and Dryden Road in Collegetown.

Just a five-minute walk to the edge of west campus, these amenity-rich units are on a quiet residential block, away from the traditional Collegetown noise. With new renovations and low rent prices, Ridgetop Apartments are easy to call home.

“I’ve been a student at Cornell for 5 years now and for 3 of the 5 years, I’ve been with Deanna. She’s by the far the best landlord I’ve ever worked with and I’m speaking for both my roommate and I. Super flexible and accommodating and I love how quick she responds to any concerns I have. She gave us extremely good deals for apartments and we never looked back. We’ve worked with other landlords in the Collegetowm area and Deanna blows them all out of the water. She’s by far the best and I give her 18387474/10.”

Locally Owned & Managed

Ridgetop is run by people who actually live here, so when something breaks, you’re dealing with a real person who picks up the phone, not a faceless company across the country.
