Expansive homes, 28 miles from NYC
Named after the river that flows through the borough, Saddle River is one of New Jersey's wealthiest areas. The neighborhood attracts residents seeking sprawling estates while also staying relatively close to New York City, which is about 28 miles away. “With a population of less than 3,500, the community tends to be close-knit; but residents also appreciate their privacy, as Saddle River is home to Fortune 500 CEOs, Former U.S. presidents, celebrities and athletes,” says Jason Dion, Broker for Century 21 The Crossing, who’s been selling homes in the area since 2017.
Tree‑lined lanes and large lots characterize Saddle River’s landscape.
Bayou offers knitting and sewing classes alongside craft supplies.

Estates for over $2 million
On the borough's residential streets, there are stately historic homes, old estates and newer mansions. These homes boast gated properties, private grounds, outdoor pools and at least 2 acres of land thanks to the neighborhood’s minimum zoning requirements. “Residents stay in their Saddle River homes for 20 years or more, eventually either downsizing or moving elsewhere later in life,” says Dion. Homes tend to cost between $2 million and $5 million. There are also a few townhouses in the area that typically sell for $800,000 to $1 million. The CAP Index gives the neighborhood a crime score of 1, which is below the national average of 4.
Large estates are common across Saddle River’s residential streets.
Many homes sit on two‑acre lots under Saddle River’s zoning.

Commuting on Garden State Parkway
Because of the borough’s suburban streetscape, the area is mostly car-dependent. Garden State Parkway runs next to the neighborhood and takes residents from Paterson all the way down the Jersey Shore to Cape May. Those driving into New York City can take the parkway south to Route 4, which gets commuters to the George Washington Bridge in under an hour. The Waldwick train station is also 2 miles south with daily service to the Hoboken train station and the city’s subway system.
