As I have disclosed before, my mother-in-law has been a Glen Ridge resident for almost 7 years now and absolutely loves it. We are very grateful that she did not move to a single family home after her husband passed away. She is very active at Glen Ridge, raves about the maintenance crew, and is never lonely because of all the new friends and connections she has made at Glen Ridge.

Some appliances are owned by the cooperative and replacements are provided. 2 indoor cats are allowed and if you currently have a dog, it may be allowed.
