My Ozzie Nelson Drive avatar is up! - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I'm proud to debut my first avatar.....the picture is of the actual "Ozzie Nelson Drive" street sign located 5 minutes from my home in Ozzie's boyhood hometown of Ridgefield Park, New Jersey. In the early 1990's this street was officially named after their home son. Gunner, Matthew and Don Nelson all attended the Saturday afternoon dedication ceremony which I attended. Within walking distance of this street, the home where Ozzie and family lived is still standing on Teaneck Road.

Here is a picture of the house as it stands today at 378 (formally 370) Teaneck Road in Ridgefield Park, New Jersey.

That was probably a very nice and expensive house back in Ozzie's day.

I know home prices vary across the country, here in NJ that house today is worth a minimum of $425,000

Jude The Obscure · 09-19-2008, 09:45 PM

Hmmmmm, is this the same house based on shots used on the opening credits for the early seasons of O&H?

TeeVeeCloset · 09-22-2008, 08:56 AM

The photo is the actual house Ozzie Nelson spent most of his childhood and college years....the house that was shown in the opening credits was modeled after the home Ozzie & Harriet actually lived in at the time of the series.

Ozzie went to college in Rutgers, so it was not a far drive from Ridgefield Park. It amazes me how many things Ozzie was good at, law, music, writing, directing, acting, sports, etc.
