Nash Park is home to greenery and Little League
Nash Park has a playground for youngsters and is home to the area’s Little League games thanks to its baseball diamond. Lakeview Park features open fields along with basketball courts, while Samuel Hird Park has a walking path for those looking to enjoy a stroll. Dundee Island Park, located on the community’s edge, is a relatively recent addition to the area and includes a spray park, art installations, and another playground. The Clifton Jewish Center, Islamic Center of Passaic and St. Philip the Apostle Roman Catholic Church are three examples of the area's local houses of worship.

Clifton's Food & Wine Festival attracts big crowds
Community spirit is one thing that sets Clifton apart from many other suburbs on New York, and Lakeview is no different. The Boys and Girls Club of Clifton hosts several events throughout the year, in addition to the regular services and programs it provides to families in the area. Bingo nights serve as regular chances to meet up with the community, while events such as A Taste of Clifton: Food & Wine Festival attract even those from out of town. “Clifton really feels like a big town that’s made up of smaller communities,” says Messercola. “It’s very multicultural, very welcoming, and it’s really special to see all the communities get together and celebrate at events.”Get to the city with ease
Lakeview offers residents ample opportunity to get to the city, with Highway 46 and Garden State Parkway serving as two convenient options for getting to NYC via car. “There are people from all walks in Lakeview, but I know young professionals are particularly fond of that area,” says Messercola. “It just makes so much sense for people who need to get to the city but don’t want to live in the city or pay those prices.” Nearby Delawanna station provides residents with train access, and bus stops run throughout Clifton as well. Though Clifton is less congested than some nearby suburbs, traffic still largely depends on the time of day.Nationally recognized brands and diverse local favorites
“The commerce in Clifton is great,” says Messercola. “You have all the big-name chains you need, and there are big shopping areas where you can get all your shopping done.” Shopping centers such as Styertowne Shopping Center and Clifton Towne Square feature spots like CVS and Trader Joe’s, while The Promenade Shops at Clifton offers retail shopping and designer brands. Nearby Piaget Avenue is home to several multicultural options. “Diversity is a huge selling point to Lakeview and Clifton in general,” says Messercola. “And that extends to the dining options too.” Locals can enjoy Mexican classics at Agave Cantina Mexicana or head to Yasmeen Mediterranean Cuisine for Middle Eastern specialties in a laid-back atmosphere.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
