Near the Hudson Palisades

Palisades Park is a New Jersey borough named for its location near the Hudson Palisades’ cliffs that stretch along the Hudson River and offer a commanding view of New York City. Incorporated in 1899, Palisades Park evolved from a typical blue-collar community into a dense cultural hub, both due to the heyday of the Palisades Amusement Park until it closed in 1971, and the arrival of Korean shops and restaurants in the 1990s to serve a growing population of Korean immigrants. Palisades Park’s rich diversity, both in its community and in its retail scene, has come to define this desirable borough. “Between a food scene that is vibrant and open late, to beautiful architecture, low property taxes and low maintenance, Palisades Park offers so much,” says Tyler Sellers, a Realtor with 2Win Realty, who’s also a local resident.

Duplexes, condos and older home styles

In the 1980s, developers started knocking down many of the community's single-family lots and began putting up duplexes. Today, condos, townhouses and apartments make up most of the area’s available inventory. There are older properties with up to two bedrooms available for $250,000 to $500,000, while new offerings with up to five bedrooms typically sell for $1 million to $1.5 million. Colonial-style homes, Cape Cods and split-levels are most of the single-family homes left in the community and do not go on the market often, typically selling for $500,000 to $750,000.
