Englewood Cliffs

Living in Englewood Cliffs

Englewood Cliffs sits high on the Hudson Palisades, looking across the river toward Manhattan and the George Washington Bridge. It is a small Bergen County borough with an outsized profile: tree-lined residential streets and gracious single-family homes share the same few square miles as the global headquarters of CNBC and LG Electronics' North American campus. That mix of corporate gravity and residential calm gives the town a distinct, well-kept character all its own.

Homes here lean toward the substantial and the private. The housing stock is dominated by detached single-family residences on generous lots, ranging from established mid-century homes to newer custom builds, and the borough has long carried a reputation as one of the county's most prestigious addresses. Buyers are drawn by the rare combination of space, privacy, and a Manhattan skyline that feels close enough to touch.

For families, the Englewood Cliffs school district serves pre-K through eighth grade across two schools, with high school students attending Dwight Morrow High School in neighboring Englewood through a long-standing sending relationship. Add the cliffside trails and Hudson River overlooks of Palisades Interstate Park at the town's edge, and the appeal is easy to understand.
