Oradell is a rich town. It only has one school up to 6th grade, and then it shares a school with River Edge for Junior and Senior High. "River Dell"

River Dell schools are VERY highly regarded.

The town is nice enough - its a soccer mom town. Most men commute to the city, since the train is right there. Most women stay home.

The main street, Kinderkamack Rd is nice, with little bagel shops. nail salons, karate, ballet, pork store, Cool Beans Cafe, Chinese Food, Banks, etc. And Paramus is a second away, and you have any and every store you could want.

There is a VERY nearby County Park, Van Saun Park, which also has a zoo. A nice zoo, with monkeys, and cows, and mountain lions and bison, and all sorts of cool stuff, including a train ride for kids and parents.

There is a nearby dog run, dog park in Ridgewood. There is nothing negative about Oradell except that you have to drive through Paramus traffic alot. The parkway is close by. The only other negative is price and taxes., but if you're looking, obvi. you can afford it. Its a nice town, no doubt.
