THE CALDWELLS NJ - Caldwell, North Caldwell & West Caldwell
The Caldwells consist of three communities: Caldwell, West Caldwell and North Caldwell. The beauty of the Watchung mountains, with forests, streams and farmland first attracted settlers in the early 1700’s. The Township of Caldwell, which incorporated The Caldwells, Cedar Grove, Fairfield and Verona was formed after the Revolutionary War, taking its name to honor James Caldwell, a minister who aided Washington’s troops during the war. The town boundaries which exist today were defined almost a century later.
Caldwell and West Caldwell have a wide range of home styles, spanning hundreds of years. Although there is very little vacant land, there are some recently built townhouses and converted garden apartment complexes. In 2009, the median sale price for single family homes (including condominiums and coops) in Caldwell and West Caldwell was $345,000 and $450,000, down from $400,024 and $465,000 in 2008. This is down from $420,000 and $480,000 in 2007. There is a lively shopping district along Bloomfield Avenue, with restaurants, a movie theater and a host of retail establishments. The Caldwells are conveniently located close to Interstate 280, with easy access to New York and NJ roadways.
Caldwell (population 7,600) and West Caldwell (population 11,000) share a school district. There are four elementary schools, Grover Cleveland Middle School and James Caldwell High School. There are numerous recreational options available for town residents, including a community center, several pools and a variety of programs administered by the Parks & Recreation Department.

Working With An Agent >Real Estate Agent Representation
Which party in a real estate transaction is represented by the real estate agent--the buyer or the seller? Until recently that question was never asked because the answer was always the same. Traditionally all the marketing professionals involved in real estate transactions were legally and ethically obligated to conduct business on behalf of the seller. They may have aided the buyer in certain situations, but their client was the seller. Today that is not necessarily the case.
In a time of increasing specialization, buyers can be represented by a real estate agent who functions solely as a buyer's broker. In this case, the sales professional helps the buyer locate a home, negotiate the price, and is responsible to the buyer only, for an agreed-upon fee or a percentage commission.
In any real estate transaction you have the right to know which party the real estate agent is representing.
