A suburban borough in NJ
Embracing the scenic vistas of the Hudson Palisades, and just across the river from The Bronx, Tenafly, New Jersey offers homeowners the unique opportunity to live both close to New York and in a quiet, leafy suburb teeming with historic homes and local businesses. Tenafly’s unique name comes from its origins as a Dutch colony of the late 1600s; Tenafly means “ten swamps” in Dutch. Since its foundation in 1677, Tenafly developed into a farming community by the Revolution and a rural suburb of New York City by the 1870s. The Gilded Age saw the acceleration of Tenafly’s suburbanization, with the development of historic homes, a public library, and even a fire department.

Living in Tenafly
While modern Tenafly is intrinsically linked with the rest of Bergen County due to the proximity of major roads, it retains its centuries-old charm due to its abundance of Colonial-style houses, Gilded Age Tudors, and ranch-style homes popular at the turn of the 20th century. Homes in Tenafly typically sell for approximately a million dollars, reflecting this town’s continued popularity as a commuter suburb of New York. Realtor Ron Cohen of Keller Williams says, “When it comes to home styles, Tenafly has many historic properties still standing today. You can find a variety of home styles: Victorian homes built in the early 1900s, colonials, and new construction homes.”

A vibrant retail scene
Tenafly continues to be a desirable suburb due to its wealth of great features. Cohen says, “Tenafly is known to be one of the best towns to live in Bergen County. Known for its green spaces, great schools, and many shops, Tenafly draws New York residents and is referred to as a ‘suburb for urbanites.’” Tenafly’s quiet suburban atmosphere is matched by equally vibrant shopping and dining scenes. Its popular restaurants include the Victorian-style Café Angelique, the retro-themed Tenafly Classic Diner, and the cozy Japanese restaurant of Mr. Wok and Sushi. Also unique is the local supermarket, Tenafly Gourmet Farms, which features a selection of deli, produce, and frozen goods on par with any big-name retailer.
