Upper Saddle River is a quiet borough known for its top notch public schools, large residences and lush natural scenery.

Formerly miles of farmlands and orchards, Upper Saddle River's landscape is now full of large homes with pristine, manicured lawns. Homes sit on anywhere from half an acre to 2 acres. While most houses cost between $1 million and $2 million, you can find outliers for as low as $650,000 or as high as $3.5 million. New construction includes mansions but also town homes. The Grove, a luxury town house complex, has a pool, outdoor patio, fitness center and fire pit.

Known for its public schools, local children can attend the Upper Saddle River School District. Students attend three primary schools: Reynolds Elementary for kindergarten through second grade, Bogert Elementary for third through fifth grade and Cavallini Middle. High schoolers attend the highly regarded Northern Highlands Regional High in nearby Allendale. Northern Highlands has an overall A-plus rating on Niche, having the highest mark for almost all categories, including academics, teachers and college preparation.

If you're looking for that small town feel, Upper Saddle River might be appealing. In addition to the general store, a couple parks and outdoor recreation areas, residents call the library "the heartbeat of the town." There's a wide range of programming for all ages, including Bridge Club, morning storytimes, arts and crafts, virtual author chats and more. At Elmer's Country Store, grab some sandwiches and salads and make your way to the natural oasis of Liberty Park Reflection Pond. Or, for more active recreation, play tennis at the Upper Saddle River tennis courts or ride the slides on the playgrounds at Lions Park and Hess Park. For groceries, a quick drive to neighboring towns will bring you to a Wegmans, Whole Foods, ShopRite and a Fresh Market.

Right on the state line, you can be immersed in Rockland County, New York's lush nature within minutes or be in Midtown Manhattan in about an hour by car. Several neighboring towns offer train and bus services. If subtle countryside living with a friendly community fits you, consider settling into life in Upper Saddle River.

GreatSchools: The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
