Title Insurance - Clifton, N.J.: Where a Lot of Little Worlds Commingle

Title insurance will get you through!  From Vested Land Services LLC, the consumer's title insurance agent, a New York Times story about Clifton, New Jersey:

Though happy to be near family, Ms. Rosario, a tax accountant who is now 39, and Mr. Gerda, a 33-year-old programmer, saw practical reasons for choosing Clifton. 

There are multiple ways to commute to their jobs in Manhattan, some 15 miles away. There are national retailers and movie theaters along the Route 3 corridor — “a great place to do anything we need to do,” Ms. Rosario said. Significantly, similar houses in desirable Montclair were priced up to $100,000 higher than the $375,000 they paid across the border in the Montclair Heights section of Clifton. “We’re near all those restaurants in Montclair,” Mr. Gerda said, “but we didn’t have to pay those Montclair prices and taxes.” Clifton, in southern Passaic County, is an unpretentious, predominantly middle-class city of 85,000, crisscrossed by highways, two of which — the Garden State Parkway and Route 46 — intersect twice within its 11½ square miles. 

Framed on the west by a wooded mountain and on the east by the Passaic River, the city has pockets of both industry and agriculture (three tiny farms that survived the postwar development boom). The population is as varied as the landscape. The personal finance website WalletHub this year ranked Clifton the 25th most culturally diverse city in the United States and No. 3 in linguistic diversity. The latter distinction jibes with local officials’ finding that more than 70 languages are spoken in the homes of public school students. “There are a lot of little worlds, religiously, ethnically and locational-ly, that thrive in Clifton, yet they’re all happy to be part of the total picture,” said Ernest J. Scheidemann, a local real estate and insurance agent and lifelong resident. The spirit of acceptance was famously demonstrated three years ago when the Clifton High School senior class selected a Muslim student who wore a hijab as its best-dressed female student.
