Urban convenience just outside NYC
The urban borough of Cliffside Park sits atop the prominent cliffs of the Hudson Palisades, with a commanding view of the Manhattan skyline and the Hudson River below. With proximity to New York City and an assortment of local shops and restaurants, Cliffside Park offers convenience in addition to stunning views. The borough was one of dozens created during the 1890s-1900s, taking its name from its location along the Palisades. Cliffside Park has changed a lot since its origins as wooded farmland, and its location between the George Washington Bridge and Lincoln Tunnel has transformed the community into a commuter hub for The Big Apple. “Homebuyers will talk to me later and say, ‘You know, I never realized how well run this town is,’” says Bettina Peretti Monaco, a Realtor with Century 21 Calabrese Realty, who’s been selling homes in the area for nearly 25 years. “Between its leadership and its people, it’s a very warm community.”

Commuting to NYC
With New York City just across the Hudson, there are plenty of ways to get to Manhattan. “The commute is fantastic, you really don’t even need a car,” says Peretti Monaco. Residents can take the Port Imperial Ferry Terminal in Weehawken, which offers daily service to Midtown Manhattan and Wall Street. Several bus lines run along Gorge Road, taking commuters to the ferry terminal and to Hoboken Train Station, which connects to the city’s subway system. Those driving into The Big Apple or back home to Cliffside Park can take either the George Washington Bridge or the Lincoln Tunnel.
