Real Estate in Northern Bergen County***

Real Estate is a great investment, but this area just may not be for him. If you don't care about school systems, there really is no point in buying in most of Bergen County.

other than.......
quality of life, access to NYC, access to year around outdoor recreation, decent train/bus service, access to multiple major airports, a multitude of suburban style housing to choose from, real estate that holds its value, amazing food/bev/shopping choices, and generally well maintained towns, then, yes, there is no reason to buy in most of Bergen County.

Hate to be blunt but you’re being an a—. I’m just asking a question about it. I’m not trying to invest I’m trying to figure out where to move my family to an area with good schools but want to make sure the taxes check out. Sure if I had enough money I’d move to alpine and pay a low tax rate for the crazy houses but I’m just asking questions which is what people do on forums

Well you can go to parts of Central Jersey that offer the same or municipalities with lower tax burden. Bergen County isnt for everyone. I am in Central Bergen County and my commute to lower Manhattan is insufferable. I do like being close to Hoboken. Although, I agree Bergen County is probably the best county in NJ for reasons you stated, and most likely 2nd in the whole tristate. It is hard to beatin the New York MSA

I am 25/young professional/relatively social, and cant stand going to NYC.. Bergen County has all I need. Unless I want the beach or airport, it has it all. But what I like, someone else might not.
