Located just 8 miles from the George Washington Bridge, Maywood allows its residents the opportunity to live a slower paced, more suburban lifestyle – without giving up access to New York City’s amenities. Even in comparison to some other nearby suburbs of NYC, Maywood manages to feel particularly cozy – perhaps due to the borough being just over 1 mile. “There are a few other communities that can offer a reasonable commute to the city, but Maywood has the most genuine suburban feel to it,” says Alena Ciccarelli, Realtor Associate with Christie’s International Real Estate. “It’s just a really cozy area that can still offer great access.” With its mixture of open space, easy access and charming atmosphere, those looking to give up the hustle and bustle without giving up access may find what they’re looking for in Maywood.

Common styles include Cape Cod and colonial revivals, along with split-levels. Traditional in its aesthetic and atmosphere, prospective homebuyers can even find traditional homes with Tudor accents.

Pleasant Avenue offers shopping and dining choices
Pleasant Avenue serves as the main commercial area of Maywood, with it featuring a number of small shops and restaurants. “Pleasant Avenue is our version of Main Street, and its very aptly named,” says Healey. “It’s small but features just about everything you need.” Seafood Gourmet is a small market with fresh fish selections and a casual restaurant out back. Amici’s serves up wood-fired pizzas, while Uptown Coffee Co. features fresh pastries, tea, and coffee. General grocery needs can be met at the local Target or at Maywood Marketplace. Bergen Town Center Mall features additional shopping and dining options. “One of the things that’s nice about Maywood is that it’s less commercial, in general,” says Ciccarelli. “You won’t find as many big chains in the town, which makes more room for mom-and-pops.”
