Just north of the George Washington Bridge, Englewood Cliffs is a comfortable residential neighborhood across the Hudson River from New York. “The two main reasons why people choose Englewood Cliffs are the convenience to New York City and major highways, combined with very high, stable property values and very low property taxes,” says Barri Plawker, a Realtor-Associate with Howard Hanna Rand Realty who has been selling in the area for 30 years. “It has the suburban feel without being far away.” With access to nearby New Jersey towns, large modern homes and green spaces with scenic overlooks of New York City, housing inventory stays low.

Classic brick colonials and large modern estates

Homes vary widely in style and size. The neighborhood’s older homes, built in the 1960s and ‘70s, tend to be split-levels, bi-levels, and colonials. “There has been a trend of demolishing these older structures to make way for larger residences. Initially, these new constructions favored grand brick colonial designs, but recently there’s been a shift towards more contemporary and modern styles,” Plawker says. A four-bedroom brick colonial or contemporary home can cost $1.4 million. A six-bedroom brick manor can run $3.2 million. A modernized colonial with six-bedrooms costs $4.5 million. Inventory can be extremely limited, and sometimes older homes are purchased for their land and location, taken down and replaced by larger houses.
