There are Little League, softball and soccer fields, as well an an outdoor skating rink at Memorial Field. The Borough's Recreation Committee sponsors a wide variety of activities throughout the year for residents of all ages. Located across from the Municipal Center is a park with a large pond which provides sking in the winter and fishing for the children as well as scenic beauty in the other seasons.
Haworth has one elementary school and its high school students attend Northern Valley Regional. There is bus transportation to New York City, as well as the NJ Transit train from the town of Oradell to Hoboken with connections to NYC.
Houses of worship include Sacred Heart R.C. Church, The First Congregational Church and St. Luke's Episcopal Church. Temple Beth-El is in the adjoining town of Closter.

First Time Buyers >The Perfect House Home buyers must often deal with deferred maintenance or repairs. For example, you may have found a terrific house and like many competent home buyers, you included a structural inspection contingency in your purchase agreement. What happens when you find out that your "perfect" house needs some work? Do you ask the sellers to pay for the repairs? Before you answer "yes", there are some important considerations.
Some contracts require that all of the home's systems, such as plumbing, heating, electrical and central air conditioning, be in working order. In this case, the sellers may be obligated to repair any problems with these systems. Leaky roofs, damp basements, or other structural problems may not be covered, however. If you ask the sellers to make these types of repairs, you may void the contract by doing so. The sellers might prefer to negotiate the repairs to keep from losing the sale. If there are other buyers waiting in the wings with back-up contracts, you run the risk of losing the home.
|
|
| Q |
What is currently the most technologically advanced way to vacuum your home?
|
| A |
The self-propelling Dyson DC06 scans and maps a room with sensors and is controlled by built-in computers that prevent it from falling downstairs. |
