Located in Bergen County
Nicknamed “the Pride of the Pascack Valley,” Montvale – and neighboring Park Ridge – are close not just to New York City, but also to the New York state line. Embracing the scenery of Lake Tappan, and just a few minutes away from the Garden State Parkway, Montvale offers its residents the blissful serenity of living among North Jersey’s picturesque woodlands as well as ease of access to the big city
Realtor Bob Dzienis of eXp Realty says, “Montvale is one of the great towns in the Pascack Valley of Bergen County, from its beautiful homes to some great amenities, excellent schools, and ease of commutability to New York City and Hoboken. People love living in Montvale, and it’s got everything to do with the real estate here.” Montvale and Park Ridge each have their origins in the suburbanization of the 1890s and share a history of growth over the next several decades. Montvale’s past has left an indelible impact on its housing stock, whose selections vary from English and Dutch-style colonial houses to Victorian residences and more modern split-levels. Dzienis adds, “Homes don’t tend to be on top of each other, and you have open space here. The median home values tend to be around $620,000.”
Unlike many of its neighboring towns, Montvale offers both peaceful seclusion and an active retail scene. Dzienis says, “One of the appealing factors of Montvale is the fact that taxes are quite reasonable for Bergen County. There’s a lot of amenities here for you: a Wegman’s just opened here, sitting in a great shopping development with great restaurants and salons.” Park Avenue serves as this town’s retail hub, with local fixtures such as the old-timey Krauszer’s Food Store and the 70s-themed Ridge Diner sitting on the corner. For a sweet treat, locals and visitors alike frequent Mochimoly, a bakery specializing in donuts and hot dogs.
Due to their locations in the Northern Valley of New Jersey, Montvale and Park Ridge feature several opportunities for outdoor recreation. Veterans Park features the charm of an old gazebo, while also commemorating the service and sacrifice of local soldiers with a monument. This park invites locals to take strolls in the shade and past its abundance of beautiful flowers, as well as an opportunity to wait on a park bench until the train comes into the vintage station just up the street. Memorial Field serves as this area’s sports hub, featuring large baseball and football fields, the latter of which is the home field of the Park Ridge Owls.
Dzienis says, “The schools are really excellent and highly rated, and a lot of people choose Montvale because the schools are really good here.” Montvale is home to Memorial Elementary School, Fieldstone Middle School, and Pascack Hills High School, which has consistently ranked among the top 20 pubic high schools in the state.
Park Ridge and Montvale are each within a 40-minute drive from the George Washington Bridge and the excitement of Manhattan, as well as a half-hour drive from the legendary Sleepy Hollow on the Hudson Valley. With both the big city and the beautiful valley just around the corner, residents of Montvale and Park Ridge have the best of both worlds.
