Oh, forgot to mention that I lived in ridgewood in the 1970's things were crazy during that time, hippies, pot, etc.
I checked the house we previously owned, in the $1,500,000 range, taxes are upwards of $35,000.00. that was a "fairly tale" and I did not realize it. went from Ridgewood (wood) to the "hood" Paterson NJ LOL was the only old anglo lady, in town, but I like it for 25 + years walkability, not at night, walked to work (local architectural firm) since gone, did not want to commute to work.

Ridgewood to Paterson is quite the change.

Another question if anyone may have the answer! Is there a good side of town vs bad in HHK? Or better area?

Yeah… look out for all the E-Class Mercedes cars on the “bad” side of town in Ho-Ho-Kus.

Seriously, it’s a beautiful, small town, and super wealthy. Ain’t no bad side…

I can't for the life of me recall ever heading this... just curious what prompted you to ask?

I suppose I wouldnt want to live on one of the streets w/ Rt .17 in my back yard, or directly on franklin turnpike, but thats all I can really think of.

There is no "bad side" of HHK, the town and all the surrounding ones are very safe.

Not sure why it never posted my response. I asked because I know in other areas there's a good vs "bad" side, which probably isn't so bad all things considered, but you wouldn't choose to live there knowingly. Or areas like a Fair Lawn which borders Paterson, so some parts of Fair Lawn maybe aren't as safe, or maybe that's untrue.
