Bergen County towns / Central Bergen
Teaneck
Large, diverse and civically busy, with Fairleigh Dickinson's campus, Holy Name Medical Center, and Cedar Lane as its high street.
Getting to Manhattan
Bus to Port Authority. Budget roughly 45 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
Teaneck sits in Central Bergen, with roughly 14,500 households and a median around $650k. 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.
