He found one a few blocks away in the same garden apartment complex he has lived in for 21 years. It's comfortable here. It's quiet and just a great place to live. Located on Garret Mountain off Rifle Camp Road, Westmount Village is less than two miles from Routes 46 and 80 and within three miles of the Garden State Parkway. Besides offering residents easy access to Manhattan, the 894-apartment complex is close to 761 acres of parkland on the mountain.
Residents can walk over to the parks and play on tennis courts and fish in a nearby pond.
Nature trails and observation points can also be found at Garret Mountain Reservation and Rifle Camp Park. William Schlessinger has lived in the complex since 1975 and said the nearby woods are one of the main reasons he has stayed so long. From eastbound Route 80, the sprawling complex looks like tan-brick stepping stones. Many of the one and two-bedroom units have balconies. It's just wonderful.
