PASSAIC COUNTY, NEW JERSEY · REAL ESTATE
Passaic County, from lake towns to city blocks.
Passaic County surprises people. In one county you get the lake communities and big suburban lots of Wayne, the busy, diverse neighborhoods of Clifton, the Great Falls in Paterson and real wooded mountain country up north.
I’ve sold homes in Wayne and Clifton, including a $1.5 million home on Mountain Ridge Drive, and I know these towns can offer a lot of house for the money compared with nearby counties.
