What's your Englewood home worth?
→Englewood is the only city in Bergen County — not a borough, not a township, but a full-fledged city — and it carries that distinction with the cultural weight the title implies. At 4.96 square miles along the Palisades ridge just minutes from the George Washington Bridge, Englewood is Bergen County's most genuinely urban community: a place of dramatic neighborhood contrasts, from the East Hill estates where executives and celebrities have lived for generations, to the culturally vibrant downtown along Palisade Avenue and Dean Street where bergenPAC anchors one of the most active performing arts calendars in New Jersey. Population is approximately 29,600 — the county's largest incorporated municipality by population.
The city's diversity is its most defining quality. Residents arrive from Korea, West Africa, the Caribbean, Latin America, and across the US — creating a culinary, cultural, and community energy that no other Bergen County municipality can match. The Flat Rock Brook Nature Center (150 acres, 3.6 miles of trails) sits at the city's western edge. Dwight Morrow High School — John Travolta's alma mater, housed in a 1932 Collegiate Gothic campus — operates alongside a competitive magnet program (Academies at Englewood) and the elite private Dwight-Englewood School. Median home values range from approximately $575K–$678K citywide, with East Hill luxury estates regularly exceeding $1M+.

Common Questions
Englewood, NJ — Frequently Asked Questions
Real answers about buying, selling, taxes, schools, and daily life in Englewood — Bergen County's only city, with bergenPAC, East Hill estates, Flat Rock Brook, Dwight Morrow HS, and the GWB 10 minutes away.
Englewood is a somewhat competitive market with wide price variation driven by its dramatically diverse neighborhoods. Redfin reported a median sale of $678K in March 2026 (up 5.7% YoY); Zillow's home value index is $608K; BergenRealEstate cites a median around $575K citywide, with East Hill luxury estates regularly exceeding $1M+. Days on market average 62–114 days — longer than most Bergen County towns, reflecting the city's higher price tier and the deliberate buyer profile it attracts. The wide range is the market's defining characteristic: buyers can enter at $400K–$500K in more affordable neighborhoods or pay $2M+ for an East Hill estate. Talk to us about current Englewood market conditions →
Englewood's citywide median ranges from approximately $575K–$678K depending on source and season, but this single number masks enormous internal variation. Entry-level: condos, townhomes, and smaller homes in the western and central neighborhoods can be found at $400K–$600K. Mid-range: updated colonials and larger single-family homes in established neighborhoods run $600K–$900K. Luxury: East Hill estates — some of Bergen County's most distinguished properties — regularly trade from $1M to $3M+. Buyers should think less about "the Englewood median" and more about which neighborhood they're targeting, as Englewood's internal price variation rivals many entire counties.
Englewood's housing variety is its most distinctive feature. East Hill — the city's prestige enclave — offers grand estates on wooded lots along the Palisades ridge, where executives and celebrities have lived for generations. Central Englewood has historic colonials, Victorians, and newer condominiums near the downtown district. West Englewood and areas near the public schools offer more accessible price points with the same city amenities. The housing stock spans pre-1940 historic homes, mid-century construction, and recent developments. Condos and townhomes provide entry-level options. Englewood is one of the few Bergen County communities where a buyer can genuinely find every housing type — from a $400K condo to a $3M estate — within city limits.
Englewood is one of Bergen County's best-positioned cities for the GWB car commute. The bridge is approximately 10 minutes by car from most Englewood addresses — making it among the closest residential communities in New Jersey to the GWB. Midtown Manhattan is 20–30 minutes by car off-peak via the GWB and Henry Hudson Parkway. NJ Transit buses run direct to Port Authority Bus Terminal in approximately 25–35 minutes. Hackensack (county seat) is 10 minutes east; Paramus 15 minutes west. Newark Airport is approximately 25 minutes south. The practical commute reality: for a car commuter working in Midtown or the Upper West Side, Englewood is one of the most convenient addresses in all of Bergen County.
Englewood offers one of Bergen County's most distinctive education options — a genuine two-track system. On the public side: Dwight Morrow High School / Academies at Englewood (1,083 students, 13.3:1 ratio, B+ Niche, housed in a 1932 Collegiate Gothic campus) offers strong AP and honors courses plus a competitive magnet program with specialized tracks in Pre-Engineering, Bio-med, Law & Public Safety, and Information Systems. The Academies draw students from outside Englewood on a competitive basis. On the private side: Dwight-Englewood School (D-E) is one of northern NJ's most prestigious independent schools — PreK–12, 45-acre campus, 1,040 students, 8.3:1 ratio, $59,235 tuition (2024–25). The Elisabeth Morrow School is an additional private option. Bergen County Academies also accessible. Families in Englewood have genuinely more educational pathway options than virtually any other Bergen County community.
Englewood's general tax rate is 3.116%. The actual tax bill varies significantly by neighborhood and assessed value — the citywide average runs approximately $12,000–$15,000 per year for typical residential properties. On a $650K home, expect roughly $15,000–$20,000 per year; on an East Hill estate at $2M, taxes can reach $40,000–$60,000+. The city's tax base is supported by its large commercial district, Englewood Health, and major employers — which helps moderate the residential rate relative to some smaller Bergen County towns that rely purely on residential property. Tax bills due quarterly: February 1, May 1, August 1, and November 1.
This is the right comparison for buyers considering the GWB corridor. Tenafly: median home ~$1.2M+, average tax $23,837, A+ schools. Englewood Cliffs: median home $1M–$3.8M, very low tax rate (1.165%), no in-municipality high school (sends to Dwight Morrow). Englewood: median $575K–$678K, tax rate 3.116%, own school district including a magnet program, plus the private D-E option. For buyers who want GWB proximity and cultural urban energy without Tenafly's price tag, Englewood is the logical entry point. For buyers who want the absolute prestige address in the corridor, East Hill is the answer. For buyers who want ultra-low taxes with Palisades access, Englewood Cliffs is the comparison. Englewood serves the middle of this spectrum — and serves it with a cultural vitality neither neighbor can match.
Yes — Englewood prices were up 5.7% YoY (Redfin, March 2026) and the city's structural advantages — GWB proximity, bergenPAC, Flat Rock Brook, and the D-E / Dwight Morrow dual school option — create consistent demand across buyer profiles. The buyer pool is broad: Manhattan commuters, families prioritizing the D-E school, Korean and international families, and buyers seeking East Hill prestige. Spring (March–May) is the strongest season for family-driven buyers. East Hill properties benefit from patient, targeted marketing to high-net-worth buyers who have specifically sought out the Englewood address. Get a free Englewood home valuation →
Englewood homes average approximately 62–114 days on market — longer than most Bergen County towns, reflecting the higher price tier and deliberate buyer profile. At the entry and mid-range ($400K–$800K), well-priced homes in good condition can move in 30–60 days. At the luxury tier ($1M+), particularly East Hill estates, marketing periods of 90–180+ days are not uncommon — these buyers are selective and the pool is smaller. The key for sellers: Englewood's marketing should be targeted to the specific buyer type by neighborhood, price point, and lifestyle positioning (arts/culture emphasis for downtown-adjacent homes; privacy/prestige emphasis for East Hill). Learn how we sell homes in Englewood →
Englewood is Bergen County done at full urban scale — and for residents who chose it specifically for that reason, no other municipality in the county comes close. bergenPAC offers a world-class performing arts calendar within walking distance of downtown addresses. Flat Rock Brook Nature Center provides 150 acres of trails and wildlife at the city's western edge. The Palisade Avenue restaurant and bar scene delivers the kind of evening-out options that most Bergen County towns lack. The GWB is 10 minutes by car. Korean, West African, Caribbean, and dozens of other international communities give the city an authentic cultural energy that no manufactured suburb can replicate. Dwight-Englewood School draws families from across the region. And East Hill — a neighborhood where grand estates sit on wooded Palisades lots with some of the most distinctive residential properties in New Jersey — reminds residents that this is not a compromise address. It is one of Bergen County's most complete and irreplaceable communities.
