Bergen County Commuter Suburb
Welcome to Englewood, a Bergen County city on the Palisades across from Manhattan, where East Hill's gracious homes meet a lively downtown and an easy George Washington Bridge commute.
Englewood is a city in Bergen County, New Jersey, set on the western Palisades directly across the Hudson River from Manhattan. With about 30,000 residents, it occupies a compact footprint roughly 10 miles from Midtown and two miles from the George Washington Bridge, placing it firmly within the New York metropolitan area. The city was incorporated in 1899, though its settlement reaches back to the colonial era, and its streets reflect more than a century of suburban growth. Englewood is best understood through its two hills. East Hill, the more elevated and established side, is known for large, gracious homes on generous lots, some with views of the Manhattan skyline. West Hill holds a mix of older residences and apartment buildings. Between them, a walkable downtown along Palisade Avenue clusters shops, restaurants, and the Bergen Performing Arts Center, known as bergenPAC, the region's marquee theater. The city balances suburban calm with urban convenience. Flat Rock Brook Nature Center preserves 150 acres of forest and wetlands with miles of trails within the city, while the Palisades and Overpeck County Park extend recreation options nearby. The public schools serve a diverse student body and are complemented by well-known independent schools that draw families from across the region. Commuters reach New York by NJ Transit bus to the George Washington Bridge or the Port Authority Bus Terminal, or by driving across the bridge, making Englewood a long-standing choice for professionals and families who want Bergen County living with a fast connection into the city. The city has long drawn commuters, medical and corporate professionals, and artists, and its downtown has evolved into a dining destination for the wider region. Englewood Hospital and Medical Center is a major local employer, and the location along Route 4 and the Palisades makes Englewood a convenient base for both Manhattan-bound workers and those employed across Bergen County.
