"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."

"This area of East Orange boarders Bloomfield and Glen Ridge. We are an extended family and watch out for intruders and unwanted activity. 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. We are walking distance to Wassusing Park and downtown Bloomfield Center. Also, we are walking distance to major Bus Stops and Rail Stations and less than a mile from the Garden State Parkway."

3/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageWORST School I've ever encountered in my life. There was absolutely no Student Activities no Sports no music no plays no parent-teacher meeting they just lock the kids up in the school and keep the parents totally separate from what's going on inside the school. You have no idea what student is Reading Writing or learning in the school kids can just walk home with no supervision or care. Not to mention the constant fights and police activity going on right next door at the middle school so now you have to worry about the environment your child is about to go into from elementary school. Avoid the school at all costsOther Review2y ago9 Reviews - Whitney E. Houston Academy Elementary School
