Small-town vibe with urban amenities
Shaped like a heart hugging the Passaic River, Wallington is a largely residential borough on the western edge of Bergen County, 15 miles from Midtown Manhattan. The borough’s shape matches the small-town vibe found in its local businesses and annual celebrations. “It’s a tight-knit community with a ton of local events and plenty of ways to get to the city,” says Sharon Robie, a Realtor with Modern Realty Group, who was born and raised in Wallington. The borough was mainly a farming community before its official establishment in 1894. Major flood damage occurred during the Great Passaic Floods of 1902 and 1903, which resulted in 25 percent of the neighborhood being covered with several feet of water. Rebuilding commenced quickly, and Wallington continued to grow in population throughout the 20th century. Today, the borough retains its mostly residential character.
Local markets and restaurants on Paterson Avenue
Along Paterson Avenue, residents can go to ShopRite and Stop & Shop for groceries as well as the Grand Baazar, a local Indian and Asian farmers’ market. Adam’s Food Market is a family-owned Polish grocery store and deli on Union Boulevard that’s been in business since 1946. The area’s most popular restaurants are found along Main Avenue. Smyrna Gyro has Mediterranean eats, Tatra Haus is the only Polish Highlander restaurant in the tri-state area and Cedars Lebanese Cuisine is a clubby, BYOB nightlife spot with live entertainment and a hookah lounge. The American Dream Mall is also 4 miles south and has over 450 shops and restaurants.
Red Kettle Coffee House provides a peaceful and calm atmosphere for all patrons.

Large homes along Mt. Pleasant Avenue
20th-century Cape Cods-style homes, newer Colonials and multi-family houses line the neighborhood’s streets. Homes have varying lot sizes, with the biggest often found along the maple tree-lined stretch of Mt. Pleasant Avenue. Many of Wallington’s streets are lined with sidewalks, making it easy for residents to walk to nearby amenities. Homes tend to stay on the market for about a month and typically sell for $500,000 to $800,000.

Part of the park’s walking trail curves alongside a pond where residents can fish or sit and watch local wildlife. “You’ll see kids sledding in the park when it snows,” adds Robie. Sesselman Park is a small space next to the Passaic River with walking paths and a stage for local concerts. Those looking for an indoor activity can go to the Bowlero bowling alley on Paterson Avenue.
