Roseland & North Caldwell (Newark, Verona: neighborhoods, schools, taxes)

[akitasun]

I am doing research on moving to either Roseland & North Caldwell.
If anyone can give me the inside scoup on the schools (SPE Services), neighborhoods, traffic, churches, library, shopping and basically if they like these towns and why. I would really appreciate it.

Both are great towns IMO and could be even better if they were able to break free from Essex County and join up w/neighboring Morris County. You will pay taxes dearly here.

I like the West Essex area a lot - Verona/Caldwells/EF/Roseland. Do some research on "West Essex".

The area is a gem IMO except for association w/county and city of Newark.

i like both of these towns my self and i am considering raising a family there when i get a little bit older. the West Essex area in general i rele like. i'm currently in a predominantly Irish town in Morris County and it sucks. I'm Italian and Essex county is very italian. well at least it looks that way on The Sopranos. I personally like Roseland a little bit better. They are both fairly small towns though. According to the data on this website Roseland is more italian than North Caldwell, but I'm not sure because you can't always trust statistics. If anyone has any feedback that would be great, thanks.
