The Pietro and Maria Botto House, located at Norwood Street in Haledon, is both a National Historic Landmark and the home to the American Labor Museum.
Since the Paterson Silk Strike of 1913, when Haledon's elected mayor supported the skilled silk workers and allowed public meetings of strikers in his borough, the population has grown steadily. With well over 8,000 inhabitants as of the 2010 census, Haledon is a borough in Passaic County, New Jersey. The High Mountain Park Reserve, which offers exceptionally good views over the borough and New York City beyond it, lies to the north. The North Jersey Country Club is a short drive away to the north and the Passaic River, with Paterson on the other side of the water, is only a mile to the south. Bruce Baumgartner, the gold medal Olympic wrestler, was born in Haledon. Lovers of '80s post-punk will probably associate the borough more with progressive rockers, The Feelies. The borough covers an area which is only a little over a square mile, so the density of the accommodation is quite high. As such, there are quite a few townhouses for rent, but it certainly does not feel exceptionally cramped, by the standards of New Jersey, at any rate.
Moving to Haledon
Situated in the center of the Mid-Atlantic region, Haledon possesses a temperate seasonal climate which means hot and humid summers along with cold and often snowy winters. Therefore, on moving day you need to dress appropriately for the conditions.
There are plenty of condo rentals in Haledon. However, it is also possible to find apts for rent around roads in the north, such as Lupton Lane. If you are looking for condos for rent, then it is best to start early in spring, before the competition heats up.
Haledon, like other parts of New Jersey, tends to have a more active rental market as the temperatures rise and renters are more inclined to move. Always read every part of your lease documentation which should, by state law, be in terms that are easy to understand. If you are completely new to the area, a good place to check out is the intersection between Belmont Avenue, Haledon Avenue and Church Street, since this is probably the liveliest part of the borough.
Neighborhoods Of Haledon
Haledon does not have very distinctive neighborhoods, but some geographical areas offer you different housing types and amenities.
North Haledon: It is fair to say that you tend to find more apartments in the north east side of the borough, off Haledon Avenue. Both Church Street and Leonard Drive are good places to look if you want to have access to parkland. Big Jim's Family Restaurant, which is worth checking out, is situated on the corner of Church Street and Belmont Avenue. Alternatively, try the Underdog Lounge, just a little further south on Church Street.
West Haledon: Conversely, in the west the accommodation tends to be more sparsely laid out, with neatly trimmed front lawns and driveways around the residences. There are not many shops in this part of the borough, but Morningside Greenhouse, on the corner of Central Avenue and West Broadway, is a good place to get your bearings.
Living In Haledon
Haledon's community life is laid back, to say the least, but there are certainly things to do on your doorstep and - despite New York City being so close - you can find some entertainment, too. The Hawthorne Theatre, for example, is only about two miles to the east, beyond Goffle Brook Park. Haledon has a free public library, situated on Belmont Avenue and Hofstra Park, a pleasant green open space, lies to the extreme north east of the borough. The fascinatingly named Shepherd And Knucklehead Pub, also on Belmont Avenue, boasts a reasonable menu and has an extensive collection of beers, not least produced from its own micro-brewery.
It takes only about a half an hour to drive to downtown New York, via the Interstate 80 Expressway. There are bus services which will get you to and from the Big Apple, too, but these -- you will hardly be surprised to learn -- take considerably longer.
