Paramus

Paramus is a bustling suburb in Bergen County, New Jersey, known for its extensive shopping and commercial enterprises. It is one of the largest shopping destinations in the country, with several major malls and retail stores attracting visitors from across the region. Despite its commercial prominence, Paramus maintains a suburban atmosphere with well-maintained neighborhoods, parks, and recreational facilities. The town has strict zoning laws that prohibit stores from opening on Sundays, a regulation known as "blue laws," which helps preserve a sense of calm during the weekends. Paramus is also home to a number of healthcare facilities and a campus of Bergen Community College, contributing to its reputation as a hub for education and health services. The town's proximity to New York City makes it a popular choice for commuters, while its local amenities cater to the needs of its residents, providing a balanced suburban lifestyle.
