New Milford offers accessibility to the greater Bergen County area and Manhattan at a price point that still attracts first-time homebuyers. The northern New Jersey borough is within 5 miles of Tenafly, a borough where the median price is more than $1 million, and Alpine, which over the last 40 years has been home to celebrities such as Stevie Wonder and Chris Rock. Despite the surrounding affluence, prices in New Milford and the neighboring boroughs of Dumont and Bergenfield are palatable to new homebuyers. “Nine out of 10 or more of buyers here are first-time buyers,” says Dave Miller, broker-owner of Re/Max Integrity and an active agent in the local market. Residents of New York City, Hoboken and Jersey City often head to New Milford for a more suburban setting complete with a driveway and a yard. Still, there are multiple ways to travel from the borough of 17,000 people to the larger cities.

Renovated colonials and midcentury-built homes
While the town was once home to vegetable fields, residential development blossomed in the 1950s, with Cape Cod and split-level-style homes being built. A three or four-bedroom split-level or Cape Cod-style home costs $600,000 to $740,000. A renovated colonial with five bedrooms or more might run between $900,000 and $1.8 million. Toward the southern edge of the community, a few townhouses, built in the 1980s and ‘90s, might be found for around $500,000.
Houses on the west side of New Milford are at risk of flooding from the Hackensack River. Homebuyers there may need flood insurance for their properties.

A riverside park with a paddle center
Just north of New Milford, Van Buskirk Island County Park is surrounded by the Hackensack River, offering walking trails, a nature preserve, and a paddle center for canoes and kayaks. The water makes the park a prime place for bird watching. The site’s historic red brick Romanesque Revival buildings were formerly used for industrial purposes, and include intact pumping engines.

New Milford commuters can make use of the River Edge train station to get to the city.
A commute for drivers, plus train and ferry options
While the majority of residents drive, commuters to Manhattan can shorten the 18-mile by driving to Port Imperial in Weehawken and taking the ferry to Midtown or Brookfield Place. Buses are also available, with a trip to Manhattan running over an hour. There's a train stop nearby in River Edge, but most commuters drive or take the bus.
