What Locals Say about West Milford

Review Highlights

West Milford reinvented: serene lake life, wooded escapes, friendly blocks, easy bus links to NYC. People love safe, tight-knit lake communities, parks, events, and bus commutes to NYC. They dislike long Route 23 lights, few sidewalks or streetlights, late-night options, and distance.

    "Many people in our neighborhood have dogs. Barefoot Road is a great neighborhood to walk your dog. Personally, I feel we should have fewer dogs. I think we should have a no new dog policy."

    "I'm a city woman and visiting Greenwood lake was definitely extremely different in the the sense of it's environment. People in the area were reserved and not a soul in sight. The streets were extremely dark, I felt trapped after sun down if I had no car because there are limited street lights, not enough to see well. Everything is extremely quiet even during the daylight. I'm glad it was just a visit. I did meet 2 nice residents out of the area to where I stayed. My visit was for about 1-2 weeks."
