Putting down long-term roots in Midland Park's tight-knit community

Midland Park's description of an old-fashioned community is on full display at its nearly 200-year-old mill that now houses antique stores. It's a close-knit community, something you don't find everywhere. For example, when walking around Midland Park, running into friends and neighbors is common. "Midland Park is a hidden gem that once you discover, you'll never want to leave," says Christina Gibbons, a Realtor Associate with the Christina Gibbons Group, part of Christie's International Real Estate. A lot of factors draw potential homebuyers to this quiet borough. "New families are drawn to Midland Park because of its small-town charm, top-notch school system and convenient location," Gibbons says. "With a population of less than 7,000 people, it's a much smaller community compared to neighboring towns."

Lower-cost homes on cul-de-sacs and sidewalk-lined residential streets

A very family-oriented town, Midland Park's scores of neighborhood cul-de-sacs are the perfect places for kids to learn how to ride a bike or play roller hockey with their neighbors. Even residential roads without cul-de-sacs have their charm, with shady, tree-lined sidewalks perfect for taking a morning stroll. It shouldn't be surprising that Midland Park's housing inventory is low. When a home hits the market, it is quickly scooped up. The prices play a part. Single-family residences start in the $400,000s, with some just scraping the $1 million mark. Gibbons says it's rare to see a home on the market for over 20 days. "It's competitive," she says, adding that 75% of houses exceeded the asking price in the last six months as of July 2023.

Transportation

Situated 25 miles northwest of Midtown Manhattan, Midland Park residents have a reasonable commute into the city. However, with no local or state highways running through the community, Midland Park offers a quiet oasis with plenty of small-town charm.
