The sign reads Welcome To Emerson! The picuresque Suburban Community of Emerson with it's closely knit population has coined the phrase "The Family Town".  This Small Town is brimming with pride. 

Just like the neighboring communities of the Pascack Valley, Emerson's center revolves around it's transportation link to NYC with a quaint train station.

If the train doesn't reach your destination, Buses are available on the Main routes.

 

  



The small town sits sandwiched between two Golf Courses rendering it one of the most picturesque towns in Bergen County.   Golfers can find Hackensack Country Club on the Soldier Hill side of town while the Emerson Golf Club borders the picturesque Oradell Resevoir. 

 

 

The tight knit community takes great pride in offering the children of the town a wonderful school system and sports program.

Grammar school begins with Pre-K and goes to 2nd grade at the Memorial School while 3rd - 6th graders attend the Patrick M. Villano.  The Jr./Sr. High School runs from 7th through to 12th grade.

 

 

 There is a beautiful recreation park for residents to enjoy marked by the borough's 100th Birthday.

 

 

 

  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


In addition to the Centennial Park, residents can enjoy five more parks throughout the town.  Or residents can take a nature walk on one of the trails through the 19 acre parcel called the Emerson Woods Preserve.

The Borough of Emerson has embarked on a Revitalization of the Business District and has opened a new Super Stop and Shop.  There is also a Senior Housing Complex as well as a new Emerson Pharmacy.  The popular Emerson Hotel also got a new face and has plans to extend to outdoor dining in the Spring.

The community of River Vale, New Jersey in the Pascack Valley section of Bergen County consists of a small unassuming town known for it's Golf Courses and it's plentiful manicured green lawns.  It's not uncommon to get a close up view of the beautiful wildlife as seen here on Piermont Road in front of the Edgewood Country Club.

                 

  

 

 











Established in the early 1900's, the Township of River Vale is rich in History and has remained one of the most tranquil towns in the Pascack Valley region.  It's quiet yet upscale personality boasts three Golf Courses as well as the town center known as "The Four Corners" where River Vale Road and Westwood Avenue intersect to provide the town with shops, banks and local food stops.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This is the place that I (Lisa) remember growing up.  Walking to the town center known as the Four Corners with my best friend, it was a simpler time when walking to grammar school was a hop, skip & a jump. 

Having grown up on the South side of River Vale, walking to Roberge School (which covers grades K-5) was a few short blocks.  Children on the North end of town attend Woodside.  All children meet at the middle school - Holdrum School - for grades 6-8 and then move up to Pascack Valley High School on Piermont Road to join the children from the town of Hillsdale.  Of course this was where I (Lisa) first met my husband Bob!

 

This beautiful town of River Vale has undergone some changes in the form of updates to the town center and the River Vale Public Library.  The town celebrated it's 100 year River Vale Centennial in a year long 2006' celebration.  In 2007', it's no wonder the Small Town of River Vale was ranked #29 in Money Magazine's Top 100 Best Places To Live in America.

The popular town of Hillsdale has a special place in their hearts because Lisa and Robert first met at the Pascack Valley High School in Hillsdale some years ago. Having grown up in Hillsdale, Bob has a real love for this special Pascack Valley town. Bob's grandfather had been a Builder in the early 1900's and was the architect of several of the custom homes in town. Hillsdale is also Home to the filming of several episodes of the old favorite T.V. show "Ed". The quaint little town of Hillsdale has gained in popularity through the years for it's small town friendly appeal and charming ambiance.

The Victorian Train Station (listed on both the National and NJ registers of Historic places) and red brick Traffic Booth are icons and the heart of this much sought after community. The Pascack Valley Train line carrying commuters to NYC via connecting routes is a big draw for the popular town. Other forms of public transportation are also available on the main routes. Adjacent to the Train Station is the Veteran's Park where, in warmer months, residents can pick up a Newspaper and sit and enjoy a snack from the bagel store, the Hot Dog stand, the Deli or any of the local conveniently located Hillsdale eateries.

The highly rated Pascack Valley High School located on Piermont Avenue in Hillsdale is attended by students from the town of Hillsdale as well as the neighboring town of River Vale - where Lisa grew up.

The photo shown here is much like what the school looked like back in the time when Bob and Lisa attended classes in the 70's. Today the school has undergone major renovations to update and add space to accomodate the students comfortably as they transform education through the use and intergration of technology. The Elementary schools of Hillsdale consist of two grammar schools Ann Blanche Smith (K-4) on Hillsdale Avenue and Meadowbrook School (PK-4) on Piermont Avenue. While the middle school children attend George G. White (5-8) on Magnolia Avenue.

During the Summer months Beechwood Park on Hillsdale Avenue is the stage for concerts under the Band Shell as well as Ball Games and Picnics on the Field. Fun for the whole family. There are five playgrounds throughout the borough, as well as three Athletic Fields.

Feel like a refreshing swim?! Well, the Stonybrook Swim Club, covering 12 acres is the perfect cure for those Summertime Blues. Stonybrook offers it's members four pools, one Olympic sized pool with Diving, and facilities such as Snack Bar and playground that insures fun for the whole family!

Bob remembers the days when his Mother participated in at least one of the many Hillsdale recreation clubs offered by the town of Hillsdale.
