Who Says You Can't Go Home? Belleville New Jersey is home to me....

By
Real Estate Agent with Lattimer Realty

Most of the time people grow up in a town, get married, move out and sometimes go back and visit.  There's others who grow up, move on, move out and never look back... but who says you can't go home?  

Who says you can't go home?

Even though I was born and raised in Belleville, New Jersey, (the picture above is the street view of where I grew up) I haven't lived there in over 11 years but nothing can cut my Belleville roots.

 

Roots to my  Belleville NJ Home

My parents still living in my Belleville childhood home, my husband's parents still living in his childhood home in the neighboring town of Bloomfield and friends living in neighboring Nutley, once married, we decided we would move to the far northwestern region of Essex County, West Essex

Still residing in Essex County, I thought living and working in West Essex, I would focus on West Essex Real Estate.  Although I do market myself to the West Essex Communities, I always find myself listing, selling and showing homes in the trio of my hometowns, Belleville, Bloomfield and Nutley.  Funny to think growing up neighboring towns of Bloomfield and Nutley were Belleville's biggest rivals. 

 

Selling homes in trio towns of Belleville, Bloomfield and Nutley

Belleville, New Jersey......Its where I was born, its where my childhood memories are, its where my parents live, Belleville will always be home to meWho says you can't go home?

I love living in Fairfield, New Jersey but who says I can't go home to Belleville?

It doesn't matter where you are, doesn't matter where you go
If it's a million miles away or just a mile up the road
Take it in, take it with you when you go
Who says you can't go home?

Renee,

I'm a die-hard fan of New Jersey singer Jon Bon Jovi!  He was born a little south of where I am located but he's a jersey boy. 

Believe it or not, I've never been to Vegas!!

Thanks Irene and BarbaraJo!  The first image is of my street where I grew up and where my parents still live.  Did you ever check out:  http://www.vpike.com/

For my Belleville NJ home it shows the street and the actual house but for my Fairfield home it only shows main roads and not any side streets or homes.  Not sure what it shows for your states and addresses.  It's pretty cool though.  If it shows your house you can also do a 360 and check out the street, across the street, etc.
