Residential suburb with historic features
Glen Ridge is a historic New Jersey borough with vintage homes and established commuting options to Newark and New York City. Originally farms and woodlands, the Bloomfield Railroad's arrival in 1856 transformed the area into a residential suburb. Over 90 percent of the town sits in a historic district placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982. Glen Ridge is also easily recognizable by its iconic gaslit street lanterns. “It’s adorably small town,” says Jennifer Ashkinaze, a Realtor with West of Hudson Real Estate, and a resident of Glen Ridge who’s been selling homes here for nearly a decade. “It’s almost like a throwback in a lot of ways.”
Glen Ridge is a picturesque town with historic charm and NYC access.
Glen Ridge was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.

Historic colonial-style homes from the $500,000s
In 1987, a local ordinance established the Glen Ridge Historic Preservation Commission to conserve and protect the borough's vintage housing stock. Homebuyers can find 19th-and-20th-century colonial-style and ranch-style houses on medium-sized lots, as well as stately six-and-seven-bedroom properties in a variety of styles. Homes typically include driveways, and some come with dethatched garages. Three-to-four-bedroom single-family homes tend to sell for $500,000 to $800,000, while estates go for $1.5 million to $3 million. There are also a few one-and-two-bedroom condo communities with homes that usually sell for $250,000 to $500,000.
