Montclair 

Founded by the venturesome, it has never become provincial; built by the successful, it has never become stuffy. In spite of being one of the wealthiest towns in the world, it has never become ostentatious." 

The first mountains to rise above the Meadowlands west of New York City serve as the crown for the community of Montclair. The name is translated literally as "bright mountain," and the township sparkles with a bustling, diverse population, tree-shaped streets and fine custom-built homes. Evening breezes sweep down the mountainside to cool the hillside community, which offers Manhattan views from many of its estates. 

Montclair has evolved into the diverse and dynamic community that continues to offer the best accessibility for commuters to Manhattan, as well as points north and south. There are stately homes, tree-lined streets, many diverse houses of worship, award-winning schools, restaurants that range from four-star elegant to family-style, and cultural and recreational activities to entertain, keeping the most active family busy. 

The attraction of Montclair's sophisticated population and aesthetic appeal have enticed leaders from many professions to the community. Educators, scientist, sport notables, artists, business and commerce leaders, heads of world and national groups and presidents of educational organizations mingle on a daily basis with shopkeepers and local business and professional people. 

Today, Montclair is a community of about 38,000 residents. It?s never been content to be merely a "bedroom community?; Montclair is a family-centered town. Its innovative public and private school education, programs, and the expanded offerings at Montclair State University have enhanced its heritage in education. A haven for artists and writers, it is a seasoned community whose many stately homes enhance its charm. At the dawn of a new century, Montclair remains alive to the spirit of the times. 

Glen Ridge 

Glen Ridge, a distinctive residential community just 15 miles from New York City, is a quiet haven in a busy metropolitan area. Its 7,700 residents enjoy the individuality and character of tree-lined streets illuminated by gas lamps, a town preserving the best of the past and preparing for a dynamic future. 

Strategically located near major highways, served by commuter trains and buses, 12 miles from Newark International Airport, Glen Ridge has every advantage. 

The top-ranked public school system from pre-kindergarten through grade twelve and a newly expanded library with extensive children's programs are a source of great pride. 

In-town parks, tennis courts, and athletic fields provide many recreational activities for all ages. 

Numerous volunteer organizations and opportunities give evidence that Glen Ridge is a strong caring community. 

An abundance of cultural and recreational attractions are readily accessible. Shopping is most convenient, with the three major malls- Short Hills, Livingston, and Willowbrook just a short drive away. 

The private Glen Ridge Country Club on Ridgewood Avenue features an 18-hole golf course, tennis courts and an Olympic-sized swimming pool. 

Verona 

Tucked between the crests of scenic First and Second Mountains, Verona is just 15 miles west of the Hudson River in western Essex County. Within its 2.8 square mile area lies one of the prettiest parks you could ever hope to find--Verona Park, which was designed by Frederick Law Olmstead, the same architect that designed Central Park in New York City. With a population of just under 14,000, it is the most populous suburban Essex town other than Montclair. When you ask someone from Verona what is special about their town, they will most likely mention its wooded beauty, small town feel, and its close proximity to New York City, major highways and public transportation. 

Verona, which is mostly residential, consists of colonials and a smaller number of split-levels and cape cod style homes. Two townhouse developments, garden apartments, and the high-rise Claridge House Condominiums offer many different lifestyle choices. While there are a small number of multi-family homes, there is virtually no vacant land, and thus very little new construction. Housing prices begin at about $140,000 for condominiums and go up as high as $900,000 for a spacious 4-6-bedroom home. 

In addition to Verona Park, with its lovely man made lake complete with paddleboats, Verona has many athletic fields, a new Community Center, tennis courts and an Olympic sized community pool. 

Verona is only one mile from interstate 280 and 2-3 miles from Route 80 and Route 3. DeCamp buses transport commuters to Port Authority, a commute of approximately 45 minutes. PATH trains to the World Trade Center and Penn Station are available at Penn Station in Newark, as well as in Harrison. Paid parking is available. New Jersey Transit rail service to Hoboken with connecting PATH service is available in Montclair and Little Falls. Soon direct Midtown service to Penn Station, NYC will be available from Montclair.

Real Estate Tips
First Time Buyers >The Perfect House

Home buyers must often deal with deferred maintenance or repairs. For example, you may have found a terrific house and like many competent home buyers, you included a structural inspection contingency in your purchase agreement. What happens when you find out that your "perfect" house needs some work? Do you ask the sellers to pay for the repairs? Before you answer "yes", there are some important considerations.

Some contracts require that all of the home's systems, such as plumbing, heating, electrical and central air conditioning, be in working order. In this case, the sellers may be obligated to repair any problems with these systems. Leaky roofs, damp basements, or other structural problems may not be covered, however. If you ask the sellers to make these types of repairs, you may void the contract by doing so. The sellers might prefer to negotiate the repairs to keep from losing the sale. If there are other buyers waiting in the wings with back-up contracts, you run the risk of losing the home.
