All data is aggregated from within the past year.
Getting to Manhattan
Pascack Valley Line. Budget roughly 45 minutes door to Midtown at peak. Confirm against the current timetable, and test the trip yourself before you commit to a town on the strength of its commute.
The market here
Hackensack sits in Central Bergen, with roughly 20,305 households. Homes there sold for an average of $667k across 60 closed sales over the period covered below, which places it in the middle 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.
