I grew up in River Vale and currently live in Westwood. The whole area is very close-knit community, EXCELLENT schools, but VERY expensive housing. the area has steadily risen throughout the years. For instance, my parents purchased their 2 acre ranch style home in the mid 70's for about 75k.... they sold it in 2002 for over 800K!! the average house cost is 600-700k. You can get a very crappy fixer upper for about 400-500k. Property taxes can be from 10k - 18k per year. Sales tax is 8%. there is NO TAX on clothing!. But Blue laws prevent any business from being open on Sunday. Luckily this area of bergen county borders NY State where you can easily access to shop major malls and stores on sundays. Easy access to upstate NY, Tappan Zee Bridge / Westchester / Manhattan. Super close and easy commute to NYC. Most people who live
