Largest municipality in Bergen County
Mahwah is a New Jersey township with a diverse selection of homes and endless recreational opportunities. Derived from the Indigenous Lenape word "mawewi," which means "meeting place," the area offers a sprawling township where residents can meet at local eateries, on hiking trails and on mountaintop vistas. Scaling over 26 square miles, Mahwah is the largest municipality in Bergen County, with nearly a third of the area covered by state and county parkland. Up against the New York state line, Mahwah is a great spot for New Yorkers looking to live outside of the city and still have a reasonable commute.

Simgle-family homes from $500,000
There’s a diverse mix of homes in Mahwah, including one- and two-bedroom condos, 20th-century Cape Cod and ranch-style homes, newer colonials on larger lots and contemporary-style estates. “Homes are seeing multiple offers and inevitably sell for over asking price,” says Jason Dion, Broker for Century 21 The Crossing, who’s been selling homes in the area for more than seven years. Condos typically sell for $300,000 to $600,000. Older two- and three-bedroom single-family homes go for $500,000 to $800,000, while modern colonial styles with four or five bedrooms sell for $1 million to $2 million.
