Totowa (pronounced TOE-tuh-wuh) is a Native American word that means between mountains and water or literally falling water. Totowa, NJ, gets its name because of its close proximity to Passaic Falls, a large waterfall in the area.

Totowa may be more than 100 years old -- founded in 1898 -- and it's still looking great! Totowa is a borough that takes up about four square miles in Passaic County, New Jersey. According to the 2010 Census the current population is around 10,844 people. Totowa has a bit of an odd combination of residential areas; on the one hand, it is smack dab in the middle of Passaic County and there are parts of it that are pretty urban. But because it is fairly spread out, there are large sections of residential areas uncharacteristic of an urban center -- so it has both an urban and a suburban feel, depending upon where you're at.

Moving to Totowa

Most of the errands and things you'll need to get done will require a car, so get your driver's licence if you don't have one, or you may be up for some long walks. If you're set on relying on mass transit, be sure to find apartment complexes that are a close walk to the local bus lines. The bus lines available are mostly to pick up commuters to take them to other areas like Paterson, Newark, and New York City, so if you have a job in any of those areas you could definitely commute on mass transit.

The demand for real estate in Totowa is very high, and as a result rentals in this area are scarce. Most of the residents own rather than rent, which makes finding an apartment rental a bit of a challenge. Consider looking for a house to rent if your particular neighborhood of choice does not have any available serviced apartments.

It encompasses the majority of the residential and commercial areas, and is mainly comprised of single-family owned homes, but occasionally you'll find a small apartment building or home for rent here. Union Boulevard is a major road that has a number of businesses and restaurants, so most of your shopping, eateries, and entertainment are concentrated in this area.
