Bergen County towns / Hudson Waterfront
Fairview
Dense, largely two-family, and among the shortest commutes to midtown of anywhere in the county.
Getting to Manhattan
Bus to Port Authority. Budget roughly 35 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
Fairview sits in Hudson Waterfront, with roughly 4,700 households and a median around $500k. That places it among the more attainable parts 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 Fairview 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.
