West Essex

Typically consists of North Caldwell, Essex Fells, Fairfield, and Roseland. These four towns lie to the western portion of Essex county, greatly differing from their poorer eastern neighbors such as Newark, Irvington, and Nutly. West essex is a very / one of the most affluent areas in new Jersey. The towns share a regional high school, usually ranked high in the state. West Essex is thought to be more snobby than their "rival" neighbor caldwell which is known to be well off yet, alot less affluent than the west essex area even though residents of west essex travel into caldwell and west caldwell on a daily basis. West essex is close in proximity to New York City, and taxes are known to be the highest in the county. Contrary to some residents beliefs that fairfield is a more "guido" town the taxes still maintain higher levels than those of roseland. There is an increasingly large spirit and love for new jersey in this area. Home of the Sopranos, great restaurants, many celebrities, NJ sports team players, especially Devils players. The kids in these towns tend to be stuck up and spoiled, and they are not ashamed of it at all wearing the best clothing labels and driving brand new cars they got as a present from mommy and daddy which they most likely crashed multiple times and their parents just got them new ones anyway. A predominantly white town that crowds the shore AKA sleazeside on mdw and prom weekend. Think country clubs and pizzerias.
