looking to purchase a house in bergen county...
hello and thank you in advance for those that provide feedback.
my family and i are looking to purchase a home in bergen county - town possibilities include paramus / emerson. our most important factor is the strength of the town's public schools followed by property taxes. we would like to find a town that has strong schools w/ reasonable property taxes (below 10,000.00 per year). my wife fell in love w/ a house in emerson - good or average schools? solid family town? again thank you for your advice.

Have you looked into Hillsdale? It is similar to Emerson but has a better town center IMHO. Oradell too for that matter...

Emerson
Quote:
If you're comparing, and SCHOOLS are the most important factor, I'd say Paramus. Blue Ribbon Grammar Schools. Emerson isn't terrible, but Paramus is better. Look the ratings up! But my kids are products of Paramus Public Schools. Both are in college, both were honor students, cheerleaders, etc. Taxes are MAD low! IF you can stand the traffic. LOL.

i would have to agree that paramus school system is a great one. many of my clients have chosen paramus opposed to its surrounding areas when it came to purchasing a home and school being on top of the requirements list.

I hope your children don't feel uncomfortable, but honestly don't know the answer. Hillsdale, Emerson and Paramus are all pretty comparable w/ re: to ethnicity. Westwood too for that matter (although the schools aren't as good). A good realtor should be able to assist you with re:to that.
