The Ramapo River and the Skyline Drive ridge. More lake-and-woods than commuter grid, and priced accordingly.
All data is aggregated from within the past year.
Getting to Manhattan
Drive to Ramsey. Budget roughly 70 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
Oakland sits in Northwest Bergen, with roughly 4,395 households. Homes there sold for an average of $821k across 88 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.
