How to Improve Your Home’s Appeal
As the market for Bergen County homes shows slight signs of improvement and recovery, many home sellersare looking for ways to improve the appeal of their homes. When asked how money can be best spent to improve home sales, real estate experts have distinct opinions. Some realtors hold that the best way to promote a property is to advertise it creatively. This helps to get more views of the property and thus ensure a faster sale. Other experts are of the opinion that improvements to the external appearance of a residential property can greatly improve its position on the market. They suggest remodeling windows and doors and adding decks to add to a home’s external appeal. Finally, there also realtors who believe that, to improve the sales of a home, it should simply be kept in good condition. Any structural repairs should be given primary importance, as many home buyers do not wish to invest in repairs and renovation as soon as they buy a home. Utilizing eco-friendly options while remodeling a home can also improve its value in the market.
Residents of various Bergen County towns can look forward to a host of events lined up for November. In Englewood, the Englewood Hospital and Medical Center is conducting a workshop on Patient Blood Management: Improving Patient Outcomes. Leading experts from across the nation will come to Englewoodto participate in the event and discuss various medical options. Planned for 6 November 2009, this event is a major part of the Blood Management Awareness Week scheduled between 2 November and 6 November. While Englewood works for better health, Demarest residents can benefit from information on better gardening. A workshop on organic gardening is planned on 6 November 2009 at the Demarest Garden Club. This event will inform and advise participants on how to create and tend to organic gardens. Finally, the winter clothing drive is also on for residents of Bergen County. Conducted by the Rotary Club of the Palisades, this drive will continue through November. Various collection points for winter clothing have been set up at locations like the Edgewater Public Library, Leonia Public library, Palisades Public Library and State Farm Insurance of Englewood. Donations will go to benefit various nonprofit organizations like the Community of Friends in Action and the Bergen Family Center.
Teaneck residents forward to film festival

Cresskill downtown to get better parking facilities
Users in the various properties across Union Avenue in Cresskill will now benefit from improved parking facilities. The six landlords who own these properties have come together for creating a parking lot on Allen Street, near Union Avenue, the downtown district of Cresskill. This lot will provide approximately 80 parking spaces and will help improve parking facilities for various stores in the area. This includes the existing properties at Bev-Bel Corp and store owners near the North Jersey Community Bank. Approximately ten new stores coming up in the area will also have access to the parking lot. Administrative officials for the project state that work on it is slated to begin in the coming six months. $100,000 has been earmarked in the capital ordinance for this project. Grants from the New Jersey Department of Transportation are also anticipated. Also plans are on to improve lighting in the area and add more benches and plants.
Activities for Englewood residents
Residents of Englewood and owners of Englewood real estate can look forward to more entertainment as the list of fall and winter programs has been released.
