Bergen County towns / Central Bergen
South Hackensack
Three non-contiguous pieces of township totalling a couple of thousand residents, mostly warehousing with a small residential core.
Getting to Manhattan
Bus to Port Authority. 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
South Hackensack sits in Central Bergen, with roughly 900 households and a median around $550k. That places it among the more attainable parts of the county. What a number like that hides is the spread — in a borough this size, the street matters more than the median.
