Rutherford is an ideal place to live. It is by far one the nicest towns in southern Bergen County with an easy commute to NYC via the Rutherford Train Station or bus, and is close to all major highways route 3 and 17. I moved here just for the schools, and the town is often hosting fun events for residents such as parades & festivals, and offers free outdoor concerts at Lincoln Park during the Summer. Rutherford is home to Felician College, and the Boat House hosted by the Nereid Boat Club. The downtown district offers many restaurants and shops. The restaurants are BYOB and there are no bars which means quiet neighborhoods. The town names itself the Borough of Trees because of all the mature trees that line the residential street. My home like many in this town line the Passaic River and to my surprise when a nighbor landed his sea plane on it. Truly a wonderful safe place to live. read more
