Alpine Mansions: OMG! (Westfield, Ridgewood, Somerset: best town, sale, apartment)

I looked at a project up there once, and I was given directions to the street and then told to look for " the beige contemporary on the right, halfway down the street". I asked for the street number to help me make sure I was at the right house and was told "it doesn't matter- it's not posted". It's a pretty odd system, and probably causes some issues when police, firemen, etc., need to find a home in a hurry- unless everyone on the force has memorized the location of every family in town.

Are you a realtor or are you trying to sell your house. If not it is amazing at how much your in love with your town. So much that it's not even funny anymore.

Nope just correcting inaccuracies. I don't bring up anything about Moorestown normally. It's others that seem to have issues.

for fun i was looking through tax records for alpine and NO house has an number, just a street.

FTR, the highest tax amount i found in my brief search was $62K/yr. There have got to be houses with higher amounts. There are homes in Mendham with taxes well over $100K.
