Love the small town perspective!  I live in a small town, too, many benefits to that, wish I had thought of doing a post about small towns.  :)

Looks pretty--is it a bedroom community to NYC?

Lisa and Robert I love small towns, your presentation at Montvale makes it rather inviting.

Robert & Lisa -- Nice feature!  This was the inspiration I needed to get out and take some photos of my neighborhood!

Posted by KERRY LUCASSE - Your Intown Atlanta Real Estate Consultant (Nest Atlanta Real Estate Group - Ian Marshall Realty) over 3 years ago

Hi Lisa and Robert, yes I must agree with you it is BEAUTIFUL. I recently had the pleasure to work with KHovnanian on their Christmas Open House of their new development. My design assistant and I spent the day speaking to sellers about the value in Staging their Home for sale and all were treated to a Horse and Buggy ride through the development followed by good food and hot chocolate. A bit like Christmas's past!

If you are considering working with a home staging professional in 2009, I would love to meet with you.

Happy New Year

This post was inspiring to me.  I have some ideas for my own "small town" video.

Posted by Hampton Roads, Virginia Beach Nannette Turner Saunders (Associate Broker Keller Williams Realty) over 3 years ago

Very Nicely Done, Lisa and Robert...the background music is perfect for a small town atmosphere!  Do you mind sharing some tips on doing a video as I would love to create on of our neighborhood!

Great Post!
Happy Holidays,

Looks like a nice place to live, but I'm afraid it would get too cold to suit me in the winter.

Posted by Colleen McConnell, Tallahassee Realtor (Advanced Realty Group) over 3 years ago

Bob & Lisa excellent work putting this article together on Montvale NJ. It is easy to see why it is a popular spot.

Posted by Bill Gassett Metrowest Massachusetts Real Estate (RE/MAX Executive Realty) over 3 years ago

A great localism post.  I'm going to try and do one for our small historical town of Lewisburg.

Posted by Rebecca Gaujot, Realtor WV Real Estate in Greenbrier County (Coldwell Banker Stuart & Watts Real Estate) over 3 years ago

Hi Lisa and Bob - as always, very nicely done, and you do sell your areas beautifully, through your pictures and your words.

Hi Kay,

Thanks for your kind words.   That's Bob - he loves taking pictures of our old hometowns.

 

Hi Virginia,

It's never too late!  Just go out and have fun with it!

 

Hi Diane,

That's so funny - haven't heard that term used since my Mother used it.  I guess you are right - it is a bedroom community for all the people who work in NYC.

Posted by Robert and Lisa Hammerstein, Realtors® Coldwell Banker, Pascack Valley Area (Bergen County New Jersey Homes For Sale 201-218-6802) over 3 years ago

Hi Colleen,

It's actually pretty warm these last couple of days - 50's and 60's but I guess you have to like the snow that comes occassionally.

Hi Ann,

Thanks so much for your kind words.  We hope you had a pleasant Christmas.  Hope you don't have too much snow.  We got some and it was so pretty but glad to see it gone after all the shovelling.

I would always take the DeCamp Bus line into New York City from my hometown. Nextimer I will stop in Montvale and try the red And Tan Line. Thank you for sharing.

Hi there, I have never been to Montvale, but it looks very nice.  There are so many towns in New Jersey and they are all unique.

Posted by Christine O'Shea-Broker Assoc.~ Naples Florida Homes for Sale (DOWNING-FRYE REALTY, INC.) over 3 years ago

Ah the memories! I miss Huff's Ice Cream!  Sorry to see the Roller Rink go this past year I think it was.  Surprised to see the Bowling Lanes are still there.  All the other lanes in the area are just about gone.

Nice post!
