Cresskill

Cresskill is often grouped with Tenafly, its larger and better-known neighbor, but this small Bergen County borough has plenty to offer in its own right. It's particularly well regarded for its wide assortment of houses, ranging from charming Cape Cods and Colonials to grand, luxurious contemporary estates. With fewer than 10,000 residents, Cresskill is mostly residential, with a small downtown that has an assortment of popular restaurants and shops. There’s also a municipal town pool, community tennis courts, holiday parades, and an active town-sponsored garden club. Cresskill is also very close to the parks in nearby towns, notably the Demarest Nature Center, the Closter Nature Center, and the Tenafly Nature Center, which offer hundreds of acres for hiking and exploring. Most Cresskill residents who commute to New York City take a bus, which bypasses much of the rush hour traffic via the bus lane.

Living in Bergen County

Home to just shy of one million residents, Bergen County—New Jersey’s most populous—offers nearly as many lifestyles. It’s located across the Hudson River from Manhattan, the Bronx, and lower Westchester County with elements of overlap from all three, from the soaring co-op towers of Guttenberg and Fort Lee to grand several-acre estates in towns like Alpine, Saddle River, and Ridgewood. There’s little you won’t find along Route 17 in Paramus, a prime retail corridor with just about every big-box store and three indoor malls, the Garden State Plaza reigning supreme. NJ Transit’s Bergen, Main, and Pascack Valley Lines reach several area communities with direct service to Hoboken Terminal, and Penn Station via Secaucus. And while many locals commute to New York City by train and the George Washington Bridge, countless Fortune 500 companies have offices right in Bergen County: BMW North America, KPMG, and Unilever, just to name a few.
