About the Cliffside Park Real Estate Market
Cliffside Park offers some of the best value per square foot in eastern Bergen County, particularly compared to neighboring Fort Lee and Edgewater. The town's grid of streets between Anderson Avenue and Palisade Avenue is lined with classic 1920s-1940s single-family homes, many in the $600K-$950K range, plus a growing inventory of modern multi-family conversions and townhomes. New construction has been steady but limited, keeping inventory tight. NJ Transit bus service to the Port Authority runs frequently, making Cliffside Park genuinely walkable for a NYC commuter lifestyle without paying Fort Lee or Hoboken prices. The town's small business corridor along Anderson Avenue has rebounded with new restaurants and boutiques in recent years. Property taxes are moderate by Bergen standards, and the school district is solid for its small size.
