Bergen County towns / Central Bergen
Paramus
The retail capital of the county, and behind the highways, large residential lots, strong schools and Sunday blue laws that keep it quiet one day a week.
All data is aggregated from within the past year.
Getting to Manhattan
Bus; drive to Ridgewood. Budget roughly 55 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
Paramus sits in Central Bergen, with roughly 8,420 households. Homes there sold for an average of $1.34M across 182 closed sales over the period covered below, which places it toward the upper end 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.
