River Vale Township offers a tight-knit
community where everyone seems to know
everyone. It boasts a farmer’s market and
many affluent venues on The Estate at

Florentine Gardens and the River Vale
Country Club. The township is also home
to the Mark Lane Sports Complex where
various recreation teams compete. River
Vale’s K-8 school district has a growing
one-to-one technology initiative so that
