Why Hasbrouck Heights - Being raised in Hudson County I was aware of the Pay and Play way of life. The Apartment I lived in was too small, so my wife and I investigated several towns. My sister and her family moved to the Heights one year prior to my move to the Heights. I was aware of the great things of the town and I chose to bring up my children in that environment.
