Parlin Ln, Watchung

street is very nice, ridge road, the street that you must take to get there is dark and 'messy' with leaves and trees everywhere but parlin lane has kept good care of itself. most of the people here are within a friendly range. there a couple people who are real meanies but mainly everyone is polite. there is nothing to do on this street, but off of hilcrest [the busy street off of ridge road] is route 78. if you live on the side against it, you are in trouble because you may be vulnerable to the dazing cars in the night. however it has never been an issue for me. (dont worry about saftey, large fence making sure you dont wonder off...) just down hilcrest though is a gas station, a lake to walk around or fish at, hair/nail salon, bank, school, park, dunkin donuts baskin robins, mini shopping center, library. there is not much to do on parlin lane. these houses are big so it would be pointless to not raise a family here. but you will know your kids aren't awake walking the streets at night- because where would they go! eveything is to far away within walking distance. lovely place to be overall
