I was born and raised in NJ and went to school in Closter until I moved to Florida, but I miss Bergen County, all it’s towns are mostly clean, neat, civil and well-mannered folks, and overall safe, I hope in the near future to go back. Its only few downsides of it is the “blue laws.”

Tenafly is real nice too. Old school charm, great school system, but like any place in Bergen County, taxes are insane! So much so, that many children that grow up there can't even think of affording it. I know so many that have moved to the Midwest, the South, or Western states.

My in-laws lived in Glen Rock. What a wonderful town! The taxes are high but the schools are amazing. The town is clean and beautiful

Love Bergen County. I grew up in Franklin Lakes, went to pre-school in Allendale, but always thought Ridgewood was the ideal. Was back for a visit recently, and it’s still as beautiful as ever, barely changed after decades.

I’d love to see a list that stratifies towns by average home value. I’ve lived in Midland Park nearly 3 decades and while I know it can’t complete with the towns on the list it sure is more reasonably priced! I feel we get good value for our money and I enjoy being next to 4 of the 5 other towns, it makes for stable home values here as well.

Thanks for the video. I enjoy learning about Bergen County from you.

I was born and raised in Bergen County before moving away in 1968. A friend of mine from that era stated it was ridiculous that we couldn't afford to live in the town we grew up in. $3/4 million for a house and then $1, 500/month in property taxes. You have to be made of money in order to live there. I live in Ohio now. I think I'll just stay here.

I love Allendale. I used to visit a little bookstore there many moons ago.

There are many charming cities in Bergen County. I think it's really difficult to rank top cities. It totally depends on what you consider for your life priorities 😉

When moving to Bergen County, you move as far north of Route 4 as your money will take you. My dad bought a house in Westwood in 1965, and I now live in River Vale.

Hey Miss Jackie! How can I move back to my old place in bears claw?? 😎👍 yup!

Hi Jackie, pretty good selection. Here is what I would choose as the 5 best. Taking out Alpine, Saddle River, USR, Franklin Lakes Tenafly & Demarest. To paraphrase Yogi Berra: "People don't live there anymore it's too expensive."

#1 Wyckoff (I live in Wyckoff LOL). Nice area lower taxes relatively speaking.
#2 Ridgewood
#3 Mahwah
#4 Allendale
#5 Ramsey

Good job enjoyed your video.

Currently I working on becoming a occupational therapist. Would the salary of an Occupational therapist be enough to live comfortably in Newark New Jersey?

Hi Jackie, I’m planning to move to Bergen County, first week of May, hoping to meet you there

[robberblack]

I used to live in Ridgefield New Jersey that's part of Bergen County.
