Wayne is known for their fantastic lake communities, especially Packanack Lake and Pines Lake. My partner and I both work in Manhattan, and its a 30/35 minute commute from Wayne Transit Center to Port Authority during non-rush hour, and about 50/60 minutes during rush hour depending on weather. The neighbors are friendly, no downtown center like Montclair/Ridgewood (which is a shame since it would do so well in this town) though the malls are nearby, and plenty of shopping. Whole Foods is expected to come soon to Valley Road which runs from south to north in the middle of town which adds to the plethora of options.
I love Wayne because of how much it has to offer. I actually do not live there, but I know friends who do. I am in Wayne almost everyday because that’s where my school is and where I also used to work. Wayne has a university, two high schools, a mall, police station, library, fire station, a hospital, etc. almost anything you can imagine, Wayne has. It has houses for the rich and for the poor. It has diversity where a lot of Arabs, African American, white, Asian, etc live.
Wayne is just ok. For young kids, there are many options for childcare. Try to find a house close to 23 or 46. Otherwise it can take forever to get anywhere. Traffic sucks as the area is so congested. If you live closer to Paterson, prepare for everyone who visits to complain about it. I think you can do better in this part of New Jersey!
