Perched atop the cliffs of the Palisades and marked by opulent houses set on large tracts, Alpine typically attracts educated and successful professionals. Despite its proximity to New York City, its idyllic setting gives Alpine the atmosphere of a mountain hamlet, rather than a suburb in a bustling metropolitan county.Alpine's municipal government does not provide a lot of services for its wealthy citizens. It doesn't have its own library or high school, and it relies on neighboring Cresskill for many recreation program. Instead, the Borough Council strives to keep the tax rate low, and succeeds: Although the median house in Alpine is valued at more than $500,000, the average household pays only $4,501 in property taxes. Still, the borough lavishes money on its one elementary school, spending $11,915 per student. After grade 8, students attend Tenafly High School. Nor does it scrimp on security, maintaining a police force of 13 for its tiny population of less than 2,000.Alpine also maintains tight control over development. Industry has long been restricted. More than half of the borough's acres are in conservation areas or parks and will stay forever wild. The rest of Alpine's 6.4 square miles is dotted with homes on one and two acre lots.Privacy is apparently a big issue for Alpine residents, who would rather pick up their mail at the post office than have it delivered to their property. This tradition has, in turn, created a de facto town center through which nearly everyone passes on a daily basis, and which serves as a local forum for residents to greet one another and discuss politics and community issues.
Alpine is not exclusively for the wealthy. People of middle-class means live in the Old Alpine neighborhood of smaller wood-frame houses.
The Alpine School has a student-teacher ratio of 17 to 1, and French and Spanish are taught three times a week beginning in kindergarten and continuing through grade 5. Computers are also introduced in kindergarten. Advanced courses enable many teens to enter high school above grade level, and weekly progress reports in each of the major subjects keep parents apprised of their child's progress.

Some things are hard to measure, and others are easy. Success in a real estate sale is easy. It occurs when the "SOLD" sign is in your front yard. And having that occur as quickly as possible is the goal of every real estate agent and every home seller.
You have undoubtedly heard that old saying about the "hard way" and the "easy way" to do something. The hard way to get the "SOLD" sign up is to try and sell it yourself. The easy way is to use the services of a real estate sales professional, someone who is not only trained to get it sold, but to get as much for your home as the market will bear.
Remember, the agent doesn't get paid until your home is "SOLD". And the amount they earn in commission is dependent upon the amount of the sale. That's a lot of genuine motivation to do the job right. Save yourself headaches and frustration when you are ready to sell--call a professional real estate agent.
