Bergen County towns / Northern Valley
Englewood
The Northern Valley's actual city — a hospital, a theatre, a restaurant row on Palisade Avenue, and housing from row homes to East Hill estates.
Getting to Manhattan
Bus to Port Authority. Budget roughly 40 minutes door to Midtown at peak — confirm against the current timetable, and test the trip yourself before you commit to a town on the strength of its commute.
The market here
Englewood sits in Northern Valley, with roughly 10,500 households and a median around $700k. That places it in the middle of the county. What a number like that hides is the spread — in a borough this size, the street matters more than the median.

I am writing these one town at a time. If Englewood is on your list now, call me and I will give you the long version over the phone — schools, taxes, which blocks I would and would not buy on.
