Why We Love

There are so many amazing things to love about Mahwah but the greatest thing is our “Big town that has a small town feel”. From the day I found my house here I knew I was home! The people and community are amazing. Everyone is here to help one another – just like an old fashioned neighborhood but on a large scale. – MaryBeth Duffy
