My wife and I looked at some houses in North Jersey. We found a place in Teaneck that we like. I already got some info on schools and location, but I am interested in knowing what this specific area is like. The house was very near to Bernard E Brooks Park. It seems like a very nice area and neighborhood. Is it quite and as safe as it seems? I am white and my wife is black. I saw a mix of people all over Teaneck, but wanted to be sure this is a mixed area. Any additional information would be great before we make a move on a new home.

Default Did you buy the house in Teaneck?

I've lived there for 7 years and love it. It is very diverse. You should not feel uncomfortable at all. I hope you like it. I'm near Cedar Lane.

I suggest you do some serious research on schools in Teaneck if your going the public school route. The high school is pretty rough, and I'd look into test scores, college acceptance rates and so on for the future if you have young kids. Diversity is great, but at the same time you have many different groups of people in Teaneck, many coming from different religious organizations, more specifically. I don't want to speak so negatively about certain groups, but I suggest you do your homework regarding Teaneck.


I think the appeal with Teaneck is they have many smaller homes which is what many people prefer these days, that actually are nice looking. Also, you can jump on Rt 4 East which takes you right into the city.


Taxes are rather high, even on small homes, yards are tiny, and schools are questionable. Similar to towns like Englewood and Hackensack.
