The benefits of living in Cresskill consist of the location, being a 20 minute drive to New York, the people walking around the streets are very friendly, and it feels as if it's this safe escape bubble because not much goes on and it doesn't prepare you for the real world. It's a great place to raise a white child with conservative ideals. There are plenty of racist and homophobic people living in the town, but they are not dangerous. The school systems are all out of wack and ever since I was a child all the parents would say the schools can do a lot more for the students, and as a senior about to graduate, I 100% agree. This is not the ideal place for someone who wants to be exposed to new things and experiences, as there is not much to do around here and not much diversity as well.
Cresskill is an amazing town with great people in it. If you are looking to raise children here, Cresskill is an inviting atmosphere with an excellent school district. Here in Cresskill we have good community activities such as our rec center, tennis courts, basketball courts, baseball fields and a town pool. The restaurants in Cresskill are all very good and none are out of the ordinary expensive places. The only two cons I would say about Cresskill is the cost of living. Cresskill is a very expensive town to buy a house in but in return the town has many amazing things to offer. The other con would be that Cresskill is kind of far from the highways that can bring you to stores/malls in Paramus. To get to the highway it takes about 20 minutes. However this can be a good thing because in Cresskill there isn’t much traffic. Also Cresskill is very close to Manhattan. With no traffic it can take about 25 minutes to get to downtown Manhattan. I would highly recommend Cresskill to anyone.
Great town in terms of safety, but difficult in terms of expenses. Overall a very safe and welcoming community.
