I am Joseph , a Florida resident , who just returned from Ridgewood after seriously considering relocating to this gorgeous town. Since September 2017, I have visited Ridgewood twice with my family looking for homes in the area with the help of local realtors.
Although we found beautiful and affordable homes and have narrowed our choices down to three ,we were shocked to learn about the high property taxes , which are definitely a deterrent for us in order to finally proceed and make the move.
My wife and I are conscious and aware of the high quality of schools in the area and we are gladly and willing to pay for that and other services , but we found the level of taxation just too excessive at this time .
I understand that due to high taxation, the State of New Jersey is having more people leaving the State than the ones moving in.
I humbly suggest to reduce property taxes, increase the efficiency on State public spending and work out the State’s pension plan issue so potential out of state residents are lured to move into such a beautiful State and town.
Hey joe , so many of us are moving down south. You must be nutty to move into this area. Unless you make a lot of money. It’s over rated. Move to south caralina. Many jobs there and the people are nice.
Why the F would you come here?
I can’t wait to get the F out!
There are so many great other towns around Ridgewood. Move to Wyckoff.The Ridgewood water department is A disaster. Ridgewood is crumbling look at the business section
