I love Wayne! The weather is great all year around. We get all 4 seasons and are located nearby to some of the best beaches. The taxes may be higher than some but the people here are so inclusive and there are many ways to get included in the community. The education and school systems are also very good, there are many religious private schools as well, if that's what you are looking for.
My family has been in Wayne since the 50’s. I can’t say enough about this town. It’s big yet has a small town feel. Everyone that lives here cares about their home, neighborhood and is very considerate of others living around them. The schools have hardworking teachers and administration. My entire family including my wife and 3 sons have all gone through Wayne Public Schools. We have all had great experiences in Wayne and appreciate how it has molded us into the people that we are today. The mayor is fantastic and will “ALWAYS” get back to you via email in a timely manner.
Wayne is a very nice town. Schools are comparable with the great districts in Bergen and Morris. It’s also in Passaic County, which is not as well off. It is a good town in which to raise a family, safe and family oriented. Some areas flood, especially the southern part of Wayne by Lincoln Park. The houses, while expensive, are cheaper than comparable homes in Bergen County, but the property taxes are OUTRAGEOUS.
