Little Falls NJ residents, particularly those who live in the Great Notch section of the Township, have won a hard fought battle with NJ Transit. Threats of closing the Great Notch Station and diverting all service to the Montclair State University station were met with resistance and protests by those residents who have come to depend on the convenience of the local train stop in their neighborhood. Service had already been severely cut back in preparation for the eventual closing of the station. But the voice of the people has been heard and not only has NJ Transit decided to keep the station open, but service has also been increased at Great Notch. This decision will be re-evaluated after a one year trail period to see if ridership increases and if the train stop remains a viable as... 04/05/2009

    A Little Falls NJ train station may close soon. Could this be "the last stop" for the Great Notch Station? Although this is a small station with very limited parking some commuters and residents are both saddened and angered by the news that the 100-year-old "Great Notch" Little Falls - NJ Transit station may close in October. Many residents specifically bought homes nearby because they could walk to the local station for their morning commute. Bill Wilk, the Little Falls Township Administrator, said NJ Transit officials reached him prior to Monday night's Township Council meeting with news of the train station's possible closure. NJ Transit officials say steadily declining ridership is the main reason the station may close this year. However, residents blame a series of recent sch... 08/15/2008

What housing slump? I held a Public Open House today along with my listing partner on one of our new listings. It was a beautiful day here in Little Falls, NJ - clear blue sky, temperature around fifty degrees, bright sunshine - just a great day for an Open House. We had 23 visitors plus another 3 that came by with agents and 2 agents who came on their own to preview the listing for clients. I had a feeling that it would be a busy day because of the location of the property and the price. I just never expected the amount of traffic that we had. This tells me one thing - the Real Estate market in North Jersey is heating up. Now we've got a lot of follow up phone calls planned for tomorrow. Hopefully we'll have a buyer soon. The Real Estate market in North Jersey is ready to take off agai... 03/30/2008
