Closter's education and community is very commendable. Their education prepares students for the pressures of middle school then high school, but they also make sure that students feel like they are a part of the community, which is why the schools host many events throughout the year for families to attend. Closter Plaza is the shopping mall of the town, with a variety of restaurants, stores, tutoring centers, boutiques, and gyms. The Plaza has something for everyone, and it's a casual place for friends to hang out on a weekend. Closter additionally has a very kind community, and everyone is really friendly. It is the perfect place for a family to reside in as the parents will be able to interact with those around them and find whatever they need, and children will be able to enjoy their childhood experience.
I moved to Closter when I was 7 years old and lived in an original Dutch Sandstone Colonial Home built in the late 1700s. It sits on the corner of a quiet cul de sac of contemporary homes on the East Hill. The most attractive qualities of the town include its convenient location for NYC commuters, under 20 minutes to both the GWB and TPZ Bridge. The town offers scenic suburban lifestyle, with a revitalized downtown area that includes Whole Foods, Home Goods, Orange Theory, Cycle Bar, Target, Movie Theater, salons, Doctor's offices, Parks, a great library and Blue Ribbon Schools. (Hillside Elementary School and Tenakill Middle School).
I've lived in Closter for 19 years and have watched it evolve from a sleepy small town into a booming microcosm, attracting diversity and great business opportunities.
