Luxury home in Alpine to be bought by the Disney brothers
A beautiful luxury home in Alpine, New Jersey may soon become the property of ‘The Jonas Brothers‘, who are the singing sensation of Disney. Discussions are thus on for the purchase of a mansion worth $10 million in the region. This large luxury home is said to have seven bedrooms, nine bedrooms, an elevator, three kitchens and also a four room master suit. Spread out over 8000 sq ft of land, this property was initially listed in the market for approximately $12,000,000. With a fall in price to approximately $10 million, the brothers also state that their main interest in the property is its proximity to Wyckoff and the short 20 minute drive that will keep them closer to home. Alpine real estate is known for its luxury and exclusivity and the town is home to many of America’s rich and famous. People opt for the neighborhood as it comes with a luxury tag and a great range of luxury homes that vary in design and style.
Police steps up measures along Alpine’s highway
Residents and riders of Alpine – a Bergen county town, are warned to drive with caution as overcrowded roads in the region can hold a potential for accidents. The stretch on highway 9W in Alpine is seen to be especially dangerous on weekends when there is plenty of traffic in the region. Over a thousand cyclists are seen on the road during the weekends and these people usually travel in groups of 30 or more. The bicycle tours are quite popular in the area and many use the George Washington Bridge and the stretch of 9W along Alpine. These bicycle tourists usually come from the urban regions of New York City towards New Jersey. While the ride offers a good appeal, given the scenic beauty and smooth roads, what makes the situation actually dangerous, is that cyclists often share space with motorists who use the highway to get to their destination. In order to best address the situation and serve both motorists and cyclists the Alpine Police Department has put in place various measures. They have also handed out information leaflets on how users of the road can prevent accidents. The police department has also implemented many changes like installation of blinking amber lights and adding four more turn lanes. The speed limit on the highway stretch has also been reduced from 50 to 40 miles an hour.
Much is happening in the region of Fort Lee and residents in the region are getting more options through increased convenience stores, gas stations and entertainment options. Those living in Fort Lee or planning to purchase one of Fort Lee homes will now benefit from a new convenience store cum gas station. Located at 1641 Bergen Blvd on Route 46 West, this store is a one-storey building that is being constructed by Cumberland Farms, Canton, Mass. It is expected to be completed by the end of summer and will then be open for the public. Fort Lee residents will also benefit to note that registration for the Fort Lee Arts and Crafts Festival is on. Scheduled from December 5-6, 2009, this festival will be celebrated at the Jack AlterFort Lee Community Center. Those interested in participating in the event can get themselves registered by November 18, 2009.
Closter receives special education funds
Residents of Closter whose children attend schools in the region will now benefit from improved education facilities. In new developments, the Closter School District will receive $24,000 as federal stimulus money that will be used in improving special education facilities. These funds that were awarded to the Closter school district early this summer will be used in the individual education plans that the special education students currently have. As per statistics, currently ten percent students of Closter are under the special education plans. The disabilities vary from severe autism to no language skills and reading problems. With the number of students at approximately 120, education plans for them are catered on a person to person basis. Of these students some are even sent out of the district for special education. The funds that will be received through the grant will not be received as a bulk, but in parts, officials stated. The money will then be used to contribute to expensive programs that were otherwise difficult to pay for.
More than luxury homes in Bergenfield
It’s not just about luxury homes, Bergenfield in Bergen County is also well known for its well kept gardens. Residents of the region take great pride in maintaining their gardens and in order to support this interest, the Garden Club of Bergenfield took form. This club is conducting its ‘Best Gardens of the year’ contest and is on the lookout for well maintained stretches of greens. The deadline for the contest was slated at August 5, 2009 and entry forms were made available at the Bergenfield borough hall and public library. In order to do equal justice to the various kinds of gardens, categories of vegetable garden, flower garden, and other garden (including fruit, rocks, herbs etc) were set up. Various parameters of innovativeness, landscaping, health and maintenance of the lawn have been listed to allow for fair judging. The contest was made open only to non-professional gardeners who are residents of Bergenfield. Judging for the contest is however still on by the club members and would take place from 9th August to 15th August, 2009.
