Neighborhoods

Fort Lee lies at the eastern border of Bergen County directly across the George Washington Bridge from Upper Manhattan—Washington Heights is reachable within minutes. It’s a mix of urban and suburban, filled with houses, townhouses, and high-rise apartment towers called home by the borough’s roughly 35,000 residents. Long before Hollywood, Fort Lee was the cradle of America’s then-fledgling motion picture industry, attracting pioneering studios like Fox and Goldwyn with the promise of expansive real estate and scenic surroundings. Today, it’s an exciting, convenient place to live.
