The market here
Garfield sits in Central Bergen, with roughly 11,541 households. Homes there sold for an average of $575k across 40 closed sales over the period covered below, which places it among the more attainable parts of the county. An average is pulled by the extremes, so treat it as a bearing rather than a price. In a borough this size the street matters more than the town-wide figure.
