This is the New Jersey side on the right…..  

 

 

      

   

 

 

 

      And this is the New York Side on the left.

      

No matter which side of the Hudson River you’re viewing, the distance across the George Washington Bridge between Bergen County New Jersey and New York City is just under one mile at 4,760 feet (one mile equals 5,280 feet).  Even the northwest corner of Bergen County in Mahwah New Jersey on the Upstate New York border is only 21 miles and a 30 minute drive away.   This close proximity to Manhattan means that we’re an excellent commute to NYC which allows many Bergen County residents to work there and on weekends, many of us go to New York City to take advantage of it’s museums and cultural activities such as Broadway plays and Lincoln Center concerts.  This is also a primary reason why Bergen County homes are so valuable to buyers – where else can you get the best of suburban living 15 minutes from Manhattan?

Bergen County is also very diverse – we have 70 different locations here and each has it’s own unique personality.  We go from small hamlets to a typical suburban town to a small city.  In fact, we have 3 cities here in Bergen County – Englewood, Hackensack and Teaneck. 

Introducing people to Bergen County is always fun – hopefully this blog will help you appreciate all we have to offer.
