Bergen County towns / Northern Valley
Harrington Park
A quiet borough around Lake Tappan, K-8 of its own, then Northern Valley Regional at Old Tappan.
Getting to Manhattan
Bus to Port Authority. Budget roughly 58 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
Harrington Park sits in Northern Valley, with roughly 1,600 households and a median around $900k. That places it in the middle of the county. What a number like that hides is the spread — in a borough this size, the street matters more than the median.
