Live MLS — Updated in Real Time
Active homes over 2,000 square feet inside Moonridge, straight from the MLS.
Above two thousand feet you are usually looking at a later build or a serious addition, which tends to mean level entry, a real garage and room for more than one family at a time. This page narrows the live MLS feed to homes over 2,000 square feet inside Moonridge only, so what you see below is that combination and nothing else.
At this size you are usually looking at either a build from the 2000s onward or a cabin that has had a serious addition. Both tend to bring the things the original cabins lack: level entry, a real garage, and room for more than one family at a time.
This is the practical floor for a home that works as a full-time residence with an office, or as a rental that sleeps enough people to justify the purchase price.
Permits on the addition, if there is one. A 2,400 square foot home where 800 feet are unpermitted is a 1,600 square foot home as far as an appraiser is concerned, and that gap can end a deal late.
And heating zones. A large mountain home on a single heating zone is expensive to run and uneven to live in. Multiple zones or a well-placed secondary heat source matters more here than in a small cabin.
Moonridge feels like a real neighborhood, not just a vacation strip. You'll see full-time families, retirees who traded the flatlands for pine trees, and investors whose cabins pay for themselves through the busy STR season. The vibe is unpretentious and outdoorsy — trailheads at the end of the street, snow in the driveway five months a year, and neighbors who wave.
The refurbished Moonridge corridor has brought new dining and shopping within walking distance of many homes, while three sides of protected National Forest mean the quiet, wild backdrop isn't going anywhere.
Moonridge's biggest draw is what's at the top of the road: Bear Mountain Resort . In winter it's skiing and snowboarding; in summer the mountain reopens for downhill mountain biking, scenic chairlift rides, and the Bear Mountain bike park. Between the resort, the golf course, and the forest, this is the neighborhood for buyers who want their front door to be the trailhead.
