Woodcliff Lake is about 45 minutes or 17 miles NW of Manhattan. It is a quiet, upper-middle class town of 5,000 people. It has fine schools, beautiful parks, and some historic Revolutionary War era homes. Last year, I was visiting home, when a storm blew through and a cable-TV line fell down in front of the house. In 10 minutes, the cops were there to report it. Oh, and I forgot about the trains to NYC and the buses to 42nd Street. Oh, and then there is the Old Mill Pond where you swim….
Then there is Sherman Oaks, CA. It also has some fine schools (if you can afford to send your kids there). It’s about 45 mintues from….Northridge….when the traffic is moving. It is quiet along its streets and has many homes dating back to the Vietnam War era. There is only the occasional murder, armed robbery and automatic weapons at Ralphs incident to mar the safety. Here is a 3-bedroom house for sale on 1/6 of an acre:
