After all, the newlyweds were among the first homeowners to move into the condominium and town house development nestled in a mountainside at a former mica quarry. The project is one of two large town house developments under construction in the borough, which has a population of 2,700. The development has attracted people of all ages from Bergen, Passaic, and Morris counties . Senior citizens, empty-nesters, young couples , families, and singles often are seen strolling or jogging down the street.
Children riding bikes and playing with their pets also are common sights.
It's not Melrose Place. Although construction and moving trucks often are seen at the site, behind the new Home Depot complex on Route 23, most residents say they don't mind the activity and are enjoying discovering the area and forming their new neighborhood. You slowly get to know your neighbors and you experience new things together. The community has been in the making for nearly 15 years. In 1986, the Borough Council voted on a zone change allowing clusters of town houses and condominiums on the wooded site.
