    "Its a beautiful area . The neighbors are friendly and look out for each other . Streets are quiet - homes are huge . The only downside are the roads . The cost of taxes are to high for the roads to be so bumpy and unmaintained."

Additionally, we enjoy duel cover by both Bloomfield and East Orange police and fire departments. The area is also pet-friendly and everyone takes the to clean up after their pets.
