Palisades Park is a small, densely built borough in Bergen County, New Jersey, on the edge of the Hudson Palisades just west of the George Washington Bridge. With roughly 20,000 residents packed into about 1.2 square miles, it is among the most densely populated municipalities in the state. Its location, roughly 10 minutes by car from the bridge, has made it a long-standing choice for commuters and immigrant families drawn by proximity to New York City, safety, and schools. The borough is nationally known for its Korean-American community. Palisades Park is home to one of the largest concentrations of Korean Americans in the United States, with roughly half of its population of Korean descent. Broad Avenue serves as the commercial spine of a Koreatown that runs along several blocks, with restaurants, bakeries, groceries, and businesses catering to the community, alongside Grand Avenue and Bergen Boulevard. This pattern developed as families moved from New York City across the bridge, first to Fort Lee and then north and south along the Palisades. Housing in Palisades Park consists largely of older single-family homes and small multifamily buildings on compact lots, reflecting both its age and its density. The borough's grid is walkable, and its commercial streets are lively with shops and restaurants. Public schools are operated by the Palisades Park School District, serving students from pre-kindergarten through twelfth grade. NJ Transit bus routes connect the borough to the Port Authority Bus Terminal in Midtown Manhattan, with commute times generally ranging from about 35 to 60 minutes, and the George Washington Bridge is reachable in about 10 minutes by car. Palisades Park suits residents who want dense, walkable, culturally rich suburban living with one of the shortest commutes to Manhattan in Bergen County.
