Woodcliff Lake

Woodcliff Lake was originally rural farmland, home to Tice Farm and Van Riper’s Farm, twin destination for generations of city families to visit for hayrides, apple cider, and pumpkin picking. Eventually, beginning in the 1970s and continuing through the 1990s, Woodcliff Lake developed into a residential borough, as well as adding some commercial development, including currently serving as the North American corporate headquarters for BMW. Though not much of the borough’s rural past remains—the farmstands having been replaced by a Whole Foods—the town still has a bucolic charm. Woodcliff Lake houses are sited on generous lots, surrounded by mature trees and lush landscaping that exemplify New Jersey’s nickname of the “Garden State.” The local parks and rec department run a popular town summer camp, as well as offering community memberships to the large town pool complex and tennis courts.

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.
