Oh yeah. Alpine must be one of the top 10 richest towns in the country. It's full of mansions, like Eddie Murphy's. The reason they don't have a high school because that will keep out the riff-raff who can't afford private school. Although Alpiners that want their kids to have a common touch send them to Tenafly.
Englewood Cliffs has a similar set-up, and a similar origin: a rich part of town that seceded from Englewood.
