Fair Lawn: New Jerseys Secret Treasure 4 rating By Anonymous ( May 14, 2018) I love living here in Fair Lawn. I've lived here for years and if you like to stay busy outside of work, you'll definitely like it too.

If you're looking for work, there are a lot of opportunities here and the jobs pay very well. Plus, the local economy is robust and there are a lot of young professionals in the area. It's also a really good choice if you have children or will be starting a family soon. For me, one of the best areas in Woodridge is Memorial Park, which is a perfect place to get some exercise or enjoy a peaceful walk. Read Less
