Bergen County Borough
Welcome to Waldwick, a small Bergen County borough with highly rated schools, a commuter rail station, and a close-knit suburban feel.
Waldwick is a borough in Bergen County, New Jersey, situated in the northern suburbs of the New York metropolitan area roughly 25 miles from Manhattan. With a 2020 census population of 10,058, it is one of the county's smaller municipalities, a compact, largely residential community defined by its rail station, its schools, and a strong local identity. The borough lies in the Saddle River valley, surrounded by other Bergen County towns, and its development followed the arrival of the railroad, which tied Waldwick to the commuter economy of the region and shaped its evolution into a bedroom community. The borough traces its name and early development to the railroad era, and it contains several buildings listed on the National Register of Historic Places, reminders of its nineteenth-century origins as a station community. Today its character is resolutely suburban and family-oriented. Its streets are lined with single-family homes, its town center clusters around the train station, and its recreation is organized around the municipal pool, the Oval, and a calendar of summer concerts and youth programs. The Waldwick School District, a small pre-K through 12 system, is a central draw for families and a source of local pride, consistently rated among the strengths of the community. Waldwick appeals to commuters and families who want the closeness of a small borough with direct access to the city. The Waldwick station, served by NJ Transit's Main and Bergen County lines, provides regular rail service toward Hoboken and Manhattan, while nearby highways connect to the broader Bergen County region and its employment and retail corridors. The result is a place that pairs the intimacy of small-town life with the practical advantages of a well-connected New Jersey suburb.
