The popular town of Hillsdale has a special place in their hearts because Lisa and Robert first met at the Pascack Valley High School in Hillsdale some years ago. Having grown up in Hillsdale, Bob has a real love for this special Pascack Valley town. Bob's grandfather had been a Builder in the early 1900's and was the architect of several of the custom homes in town. Hillsdale is also Home to the filming of several episodes of the favorite T.V. show "Ed". The quaint little town of Hillsdale has gained in popularity through the years for it's small town friendly appeal and charming ambiance.
The Victorian Train Station (listed on both the National and NJ registers of Historic places) and red brick Traffic Booth are icons and the heart of this much sought after community. The Pascack Valley Train line carrying commuters to NYC via connecting routes is a big draw for the popular town. Other forms of public transportation are also available on the main routes. Adjacent to the Train Station is the Veteran's Park where, in warmer months, residents can pick up a Newspaper and sit and enjoy a snack from the bagel store, the Hot Dog stand, the Deli or any of the local conveniently located Hillsdale eateries.
The highly rated Pascack Valley High School located on Piermont Avenue in Hillsdale is attended by students from the town of Hillsdale as well as the neighboring town of River Vale - where Lisa grew up.
Today the school has undergone major renovations to update and add space to accomodate the students comfortably as they transform education through the use and integration of technology. The Elementary schools of Hillsdale consist of two grammar schools Ann Blanche Smith (K-4) on Hillsdale Avenue and Meadowbrook School (PK-4) on Piermont Avenue. While the middle school children attend George G. White (5-8) on Magnolia Avenue.
During the Summer months Beechwood Park on Hillsdale Avenue is the stage for concerts under the Band Shell as well as Ball Games and Picnics on the Field. Fun for the whole family. There are five playgrounds throughout the borough, as well as three Athletic Fields.
Feel like a refreshing swim?! Well, the Stonybrook Swim Club, covering 12 acres is the perfect cure for those Summertime Blues. Stonybrook offers it's members four pools, one Olympic sized pool with Diving, and facilities such as Snack Bar and playground that insures fun for the whole family!
Directly across the street from the Park you will see one of the many homes sold by the HammersTeam. Bob remembers the days when his Mother participated in at least one of the many Hillsdale recreation clubs offered by the town of Hillsdale.
