Westwood is a quiet suburb with great schools and commuting options
Located just 12 minutes south of the New York border, the North Jersey suburb of Westwood offers suburban tranquility, brookside beauty, an acclaimed school system and an easy commute into New York City. Westwood originated as farmland during the colonial era before becoming a borough in 1894, helped in part by the town’s development into a railroad suburb of New York City.
Fishing is popular along the brook at Pascack Brook County Park.

Commuters can take trains or buses to New York City
Today, Westwood continues to be a commuter hub. “If you have to commute into New York City, this is a prime area for you to be able to do that,” says local Realtor Robert Dzienis. NJ Transit trains run from Westwood to New York City via Hoboken and the Secaucus junction; the trip takes commuters just under 2 hours. NJT buses offer direct trips to Port Authority. Westwood is located under ten minutes east of the Garden State Parkway, making cruises up the Hudson Valley and down to the Jersey Shore a breeze.
Established homes in a wide range of styles with large yards
Westwood’s long history is reflected in its housing styles, which vary from colonial-style residences to family homes built between 1900 and 1930. Its streets tend to be flanked by sidewalks and expansive front lawns, and often jut off major roads such as Broadway, 3rd Avenue, Westwood Avenue and Washington Avenue. The average home price in Westwood is $550,000; it's slightly above the state average of $500,000, but below the Bergen County average of $600,000.

Abundant shops and restaurants along Broadway
“Westwood is known as the hub of the Pascack Valley," Dzienis says. "If you take a walk in Downtown Westwood, you’re going to find shops, restaurants, and one of the best bagel shops in New Jersey.” Dzienis refers to the aptly named Goldberg’s Famous Bagels, a local brunch mainstay that uses salt water when baking its bagels for a unique, flavorful taste. Also located at the center of Westwood are local favorites such as the Iron Horse – a restaurant and café serving American classics such as burgers and chicken wings – and the Granita Grille, which serves Italian food in an environment enhanced by live music on the weekends. One of the most unique restaurants at this crossroads is the Melting Pot, a fondue restaurant serving heated pots of cheese, chocolate and broth in a tasty, upscale eatery.
Conrad’s Homemade Candy is a local favorite for chocolates and sweets.
Goldberg’s Famous Bagels has served locals since 1949.

History and craft fairs at Veteran's Memorial Park, West Woof Dog Park
This crossroads is home to the Veteran’s Memorial Park, one of the town’s most famous landmarks. This park includes a bandstand that hosts musical events during the summer, as well as antique shows and craft fairs during the spring. A World War I trench mortar and a list of the names of fallen soldiers from the community commemorate Westwood’s involvement in American military history. Between this park and Broadway, the Westwood train station carries commuters to the rail hub of Secaucus, from which they can travel to both New York City and the Jersey Shore.
Westwood’s two other major parks, Pascack Brook County Park and Westvale Park, sit adjacent to each other along Pascack Brook, and offer hiking trails for scenic brookside views and opportunities to spot wild deer among the trees. The creatively named West Woof Dog Park, located within Westvale Park, offers residents an outlet for fun with their pets, while, just around the corner, a basketball court and sand volleyball court provide recreation opportunities for athletically inclined locals.
Veterans Memorial Park anchors downtown Westwood with open green space.
West Woof Dog Park is a favorite spot for local dog owners.
