[2] New Fox Ridge, a homeowners association, is one of the city's first modern town house developments, a collection of 63 brick town houses along North Third Street.

The construction of New Fox Ridge and Cumberland Court apartments began in 1974 with the leveling and razing of multiple properties, and the elimination of Cumberland, Hay and Montgomery Streets from Fox Ridge.

During Mayor Stephen R. Reed's tenure, City money was spent to help revitalize the neighborhood.

[5] Because of the neighborhood's historic Jackson Rooming House along Sixth Street, which hosted African-Americans (Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong famously among them), it was proposed in 2004 to be the site of a National African American Cultural Center, which the city passed on.

[6] Since then, retired NFL player LeSean McCoy purchased the properties for renovation as well as a new affordable housing senior living project.
