Living in Oradell



Oradell is a somewhat small borough located in the state of New Jersey. With a population of 8,188 people and two associated neighborhoods, Oradell is the 237th largest community in New Jersey.

Housing costs in Oradell are among some of the highest in the nation, although real estate prices here don't compare to real estate prices in the most expensive communities in New Jersey.

Of important note, Oradell is also a borough of artists. Oradell has more artists, designers and people working in media than 90% of the communities in America. This concentration of artists helps shape Oradell’s character.

One interesting thing about the economy is that relatively large numbers of people worked from their home: 37.34% of the workforce. While this number may seem small overall, as a fraction of the total workforce this is high compared to the rest of the county.

Other at-home workers may be self-employed people who operate small businesses out of their homes.

In addition, Oradell is home to many people who could be described as "urban sophisticates", which are people who are not only wealthy and employed in professional occupations, but highly educated to boot.

Urban sophisticates support bookstores, quality clothing stores, enjoy luxury travel, and in big cities, they are truly the patrons of the arts, attending and supporting institutions such as opera, symphony, ballet, and theatre.

Because of many things, Oradell is a very good place for families to consider.

Is Oradell perfect? Of course not, and if you like frenetic nightlife, it will be far from your cup of tea. But overall this is a solid community, with many things to recommend it as a family-friendly place to live.
