My family has lived in Glen Ridge for eleven years. We moved from Manhattan in 2003 because we loved the Montclair area and ended up finding a house and neighborhood we loved in Glen Ridge. We made a great choice. Glen Ridge is a small, tight-knit community filled with interesting, intelligent, successful people who want the best for their kids and their community. Parents are very involved in the schools and get to know each other that way. This is a town where families watch out for each other. News that someone is having surgery sparks a meal train. Parents send their big kids to shovel seniors' walkways. Neighbors band together and share generators during the handful of bad storms we've had. The houses, old trees and gas lamps are beautiful. The commute to NYC is a quick one. The schools are excellent. But it's the people that make this town so great.
