With unique charm, architecturally beautiful
homes and buildings and one of the state’s top
school systems, Ridgewood is quite unlike any
other Bergen County town. Once described as
the quintessential American town by USA Today,
the village is home to a thriving arts scene, a
number of club sports, a bustling downtown
with boutiques and endless restaurants and
plenty of parkland. History lovers should make
the trek across Route 17 to see the ZabriskieSchedler House, a 200-year-old Bergen County
Dutch frame house, one of the last of its kind
still standing.

RIVER EDGE
Quite literally situated on the edge of the
Hackensack River, River Edge is a small town
of more than 11,000, featuring excellent
schools and a robust business district.
The Kinderkamack Road corridor provides
residents with plenty of restaurants and shops
to ensure they need not go elsewhere. History
buffs will enjoy the various events held at
historic New Bridge Landing in the southern
end of town, which played a significant role
in the American Revolution.
