When I was small I tried everything I can to get out of Ridgewood to see the world. Now that I am old and got kids, I've tried everything I can to get back into Ridgewood (which I did). The quality of education, especially for a kid with special needs, is mind blowing to me here... The house I moved into is 5 blocks away from the street I grew up in. And both of my neighbors helped mow the lawn for the previous owner for over 6 years (given his age). They were happy I moved in since I can do the mowing myself lol. What a lovely town and neighborhood. The best in America. But it won't be cheap. I had to pay 400K over asking in a bidding war to get my house (that's like 2 Bentleys mind you...)... But it's worth every damn penny...
Thank you for sharing your journey! It's beautiful to see how much love and appreciation you have for Ridgewood. Communities like yours truly make a difference in people's lives.
I can attest to Montclair..not only do I know it but also work in Montclair….It really is a beautiful city…if I could afford to I would definitely consider/recommend the move
Look, I live in New Jersey, so I appreciate any attempts at positivity but not once did you mention the cost of living in these neighborhoods. It is easy to select these places, but inform people what income bracket you need to be in so you can live there.
Shut up, troll. NJ is the richest state in the country, has some of the best towns and schools, and is frequently rated as one of the best places to live. Where are you from? I'll bet that you're too afraid to say.
Those interested in Montclair should also consider Maplewood and South Orange…very similar look, feel and vibe
We 100% Agree!

Thank you for your feedback, and you are correct. If we are going to paint a picture, it should be the entire picture.
Morristown needed to be mentioned also!
Thank you for your comment! Morristown definitely has its own unique charm and deserves a shoutout!
WYCKOFF!!!!!!!!!!! 50 years ago!!!! Lol. My one and only hometown, 375 Dorothy Lane. Thank you!!!!❤ Happy New Year, everyone!!!! Jeff
You're opening drone shot was of Main Street in Metuchen - NOT Montclair.
99.5% of people can't afford any of these towns. That's why they're so nice.
Not Camden?
Camden did not make this list.
Not Camden???..absolutely not…..why would you want to put that town in this….And I’m not exaggerating leave Camden outta this…
😂
@@TeamMcLain don't you enjoy the diversity and equity?
Would move to nj where need a car I can't afford it it bad enough rent 1000 in Brooklyn
I totally understand your struggle with the high cost of living! Finding the right balance between rent and transportation can be really challenging.
Not sure how I got to this channel but I never want to move to NJ
😂
That’s ok, we never wanted you anyway 😂
NJ.. really?? Lol
We get it... 😃

Nobody cares what trolls think, they're stupid and uneducated.
Uneducated troll. LOL
