What's your North Arlington home worth?
→North Arlington sits at Bergen County's southernmost edge — 8.5 miles from Manhattan, flanked by the Passaic River on the south and west, and sandwiched between Lyndhurst (Bergen), Kearny (Hudson County), and Belleville (Essex County). Incorporated March 9, 1896, the 2.48-square-mile borough has a population density of 6,625 people per square mile — one of Bergen County's most urban-feeling communities — with Niche specifically calling out "a lot of bars, restaurants, coffee shops, and parks" and "many young professionals" as defining characteristics. The Otteau Group ranked North Arlington the #14 hottest real estate market in New Jersey in May 2026, with just 1.1 months' supply, rising prices, and fast-selling inventory. Redfin reported a median sale of $650,000 in March 2026 (+8.4% YoY), with price per square foot up 19.8%.
The borough's demographic character is genuinely layered: Italian (17.4%), Polish (6.5%), Portuguese (4.8%), Irish (4.3%), and Egyptian (3.8%) ancestries reflect the deep European immigrant heritage of a working-class Bergen County community that borders Hudson County. The 31.6% Hispanic population reflects more recent immigration from Latin America, and the overall 32% foreign-born rate gives North Arlington the multicultural energy of a community still actively evolving. With a median HH income of $101,493, a 2.304% tax rate, and a 2024 average bill of $10,865, North Arlington is Bergen County's urban-feeling southern gateway — Passaic River waterfront, Niche-endorsed schools, and one of the county's hottest markets for young professional buyers who want the Bergen County address at a practical price.

What Makes North Arlington North Arlington
Explore the Ridge Road commercial corridor with its bars and restaurants, the Passaic River waterfront, the Italian and Portuguese heritage dining, and the young professional energy of Bergen County's most urban-feeling southern borough.
Bars & Restaurants — Niche's Specific Callout
Niche specifically describes North Arlington as having "a lot of bars, restaurants, coffee shops, and parks" — one of the few Bergen County communities where the guide explicitly leads with bars as a community amenity. This reflects the borough's urban-feeling density (6,625/sq mi), its young professional renter majority, and Ridge Road's active commercial character. For a Bergen County community of this size and price point, the nightlife and casual dining density is genuinely unusual and is a primary draw for the young professional buyer that Niche identifies as the dominant demographic.
Bars · Restaurants · Coffee Shops · Young Professional Hub
Italian & Portuguese Heritage Dining
With Italian (17.4%) and Portuguese (4.8%) as the two largest European ancestry groups, North Arlington has Italian-American and Portuguese restaurants, delis, and bakeries that reflect the borough's deep Southern European immigrant heritage. These establishments — some decades old — serve both the long-established ethnic community and the newer residents who discover them. North Arlington's Italian heritage dining tradition reflects the same Bergen-Essex-Hudson County border culture that defines communities like Lyndhurst, Rutherford, and Kearny.
Italian 17.4% · Portuguese 4.8% · Heritage · Bergen-Essex Border
Hispanic & Latin American Dining
With 31.6% Hispanic/Latino residents — one of Bergen County's higher concentrations — North Arlington has authentic Latin American restaurants, bakeries, and specialty food shops along Ridge Road and the surrounding commercial corridors. The Latin American dining community adds to the borough's genuine multicultural commercial character, which coexists with the Italian and Portuguese establishments rather than replacing them.
31.6% Hispanic · Latin American · Authentic · Multilingual
Passaic River Waterfront
The Passaic River forms North Arlington's southern and western border — connecting the borough to the broader Passaic River Valley and providing scenic waterway access at Bergen County's southern edge. The Belleville Turnpike Bridge crosses the Passaic between North Arlington and Kearny — a Hudson County gateway that connects the borough to the Path of History and the broader New Jersey industrial waterfront corridor.
Passaic River · Waterfront · Belleville Tpk Bridge · Scenic
Ridge Road Commercial Corridor
Ridge Road is North Arlington's primary commercial spine — running north-south through the borough and connecting to Lyndhurst to the north and Kearny to the south. The corridor includes the borough's restaurants, bars, coffee shops, and retail establishments that Niche calls out as defining community amenities. For a community where most residents rent and many are young professionals, Ridge Road is a genuine daily-use commercial asset rather than a destination dining strip.
Ridge Road · Commercial Spine · Daily-Use · Young Professional
Meadowlands & Newark Access (~10–15 min)
MetLife Stadium and the Meadowlands Sports Complex are approximately 10–15 minutes north in East Rutherford. Newark — with Prudential Center (Devils, concerts), Newark Museum, Newark Liberty Airport, and the Brick City's expanding restaurant scene — is approximately 5 minutes south across the Passaic. North Arlington's position at the Bergen-Hudson-Essex tri-county border gives it access to three counties' worth of entertainment and employment options within a 15-minute radius.
~10 min Meadowlands · ~5 min Newark · Prudential Center · Tri-County
Parks — Niche's Specific Endorsement
Niche specifically calls out parks alongside bars and restaurants as one of North Arlington's defining community assets — an unusual combination that reflects the borough's urban-suburban character. The borough maintains parks and recreational facilities serving a dense community of 16,000+ residents, with the Passaic River waterfront providing additional natural open space along the southern and western boundaries. For a densely populated community, North Arlington's park access is notably good for its size and density.
Parks · Niche Endorsed · Passaic River Open Space · Dense Community
Passaic River Waterfront Access
The Passaic River runs along North Arlington's southern and western borders — providing waterfront access and scenic river views that most of Bergen County lacks. The river connects to the broader Passaic River Valley recreational corridor and provides canoe and kayak access from put-in points along the bank. For an urban-feeling borough at Bergen County's edge, the Passaic River waterfront is a genuine natural asset that distinguishes North Arlington from the all-residential communities to the north.

Newark Liberty Airport (~10–15 min)
Newark Liberty International Airport is approximately 10–15 minutes south via the NJ Turnpike — one of Bergen County's most practical airport positions for a residential community. For frequent travelers, North Arlington's southern border position dramatically reduces the pre-flight drive that northern Bergen County residents face. The airport is a practical daily-life advantage that compounds over years of living in the borough.
~10–15 min · Newark Airport · Frequent Traveler Advantage
HackensackUMC (~15 min) · Newark University Hospital (~10 min)
HackensackUMC is approximately 15 minutes north. Newark's University Hospital is approximately 10 minutes south — one of New Jersey's major trauma centers. The Meadowlands medical district is accessible in between. North Arlington's tri-county border position gives it access to multiple major hospital systems in Bergen, Hudson, and Essex Counties — a healthcare access profile unusual for a community of this size and price tier.
~15 min HackensackUMC · ~10 min Newark UH · Tri-County Access
North Arlington Public Library
Part of the Bergen County Cooperative Library System, serving a dense, multicultural community of 16,000+ residents — with multilingual resources reflecting the Italian, Polish, Portuguese, Hispanic, and other communities that make up North Arlington's 32% foreign-born population. Strong programming for a borough where Niche identifies young professionals as the defining demographic — a population that uses digital resources, programming, and community access actively.

#14 Hottest Market in NJ — Otteau Group, May 2026
The Otteau Group — New Jersey's independent real estate research firm — ranked North Arlington the 14th hottest market in New Jersey in May 2026, based on rising prices and inventory levels. With only 1.1 months' supply and prices rising monthly by 0.4% (5% annually), the borough has the supply/demand dynamics of a market where demand is consistently outpacing available homes. Redfin's $650K median (+8.4% YoY, March 2026) confirms the appreciation momentum. This is not a statewide real estate trend — it is North Arlington's specific positioning as Bergen County's most accessible urban-feeling southern gateway.

Bergen-Hudson-Essex Tri-County Border Community
North Arlington is one of the very few Bergen County communities that borders both Hudson County (Kearny) and Essex County (Belleville) simultaneously — making it a genuine tri-county border community. This geographic position is both a practical advantage (access to three counties' worth of amenities, employment, and transit) and a community identity marker. North Arlington feels different from northern Bergen County communities precisely because it shares a border with the New York metropolitan area's more urban fabric.

Vikings at 222 Ridge Road — Est. 1935
North Arlington High School — Vikings, Royal Blue and White, motto "Pride, Loyalty, Desire" — has served the borough since 1935. The school's Meadowlands Division athletic conference (Bergen, Hudson, Morris, Passaic counties) reflects North Arlington's distinctive cross-county position. Niche rates the schools "highly rated" for a DFG DE district — a meaningful endorsement that reflects the school's educational investment relative to its demographic challenge and resource base.

Ridge Road Retail & Kearny Commercial (~5 min)
Ridge Road serves everyday retail needs — grocery, pharmacy, local shops, and services along the borough's commercial spine. Kearny's commercial district — immediately across the Passaic River — extends the practical retail radius into Hudson County, with additional grocery and everyday options. For a borough with a renter majority and young professional character, the combined North Arlington / Kearny commercial corridor handles daily needs effectively.
Ridge Road · Kearny ~5 min · Everyday Retail · Daily Needs
Lyndhurst (~10 min) · American Dream (~15 min)
Lyndhurst's commercial corridor (including DeKorte Park, Costco, and Route 17 retail) is approximately 10 minutes north. American Dream Mall in East Rutherford — Whole Foods, major retailers, indoor ski, entertainment — is approximately 15 minutes north. For major-format retail, North Arlington's Meadowlands-adjacent position gives practical access without requiring the borough to host commercial infrastructure inconsistent with its residential character.
~10 min Lyndhurst · ~15 min American Dream · Whole Foods
Newark Airport (~10 min) · HackensackUMC (~15 min)
Newark Liberty Airport is approximately 10–15 minutes south via NJ Turnpike — an exceptional practical advantage for frequent travelers that Northern Bergen communities don't have. HackensackUMC is approximately 15 minutes north. Newark University Hospital approximately 10 minutes south. The Bergen-Hudson-Essex tri-county position gives North Arlington multi-directional healthcare and employment access that single-county communities cannot match.

Common Questions
North Arlington, NJ — Frequently Asked Questions
Real answers about buying, selling, taxes, schools, and daily life in North Arlington — Bergen County's most energetic southern entry point, ranked #14 hottest market in NJ (Otteau, May 2026), with a $650K median (+8.4% YoY), $10,865 average tax bill, Passaic River waterfront, 8.5 miles to Manhattan, and Niche's "many young professionals" and "highly rated schools."
North Arlington is one of New Jersey's hottest mid-tier markets right now. The Otteau Group ranked it the #14 hottest real estate market in NJ in May 2026 — based on rising prices and tight supply. 1.1 months' supply of available homes. Redfin reported a $650,000 median sale in March 2026, up 8.4% YoY, with price per square foot at $390 (up 19.8% YoY). Prices are rising monthly at 0.4% and annually at 5%. Rocket Homes median $635K. True SFH working range approximately $575K–$700K. The borough's position as Bergen County's most accessible urban-feeling southern gateway — 8.5 miles from Manhattan, Passaic River waterfront, dense bar-and-restaurant commercial energy, young professional renter majority — drives demand from buyers being priced out of Jersey City and Hoboken. Talk to us about current North Arlington market conditions →
The practical range: smaller capes and ranches: $475K–$575K. Standard colonials in good condition: $575K–$700K. Larger or updated SFH: $700K–$825K. The Redfin $650K median (March 2026, all home types) and Rocket $635K are aligned. Most residents rent in North Arlington (Niche), meaning the owner-occupant purchase market skews to SFH and multi-family rather than condos. Multi-family (2–4 unit) properties attract strong investor interest given the borough's active rental market — young professionals who rent today are tomorrow's buyers, and investors targeting North Arlington's dense population command strong rents. The 8.4% YoY price growth reflects genuine supply/demand imbalance driven by the borough's appeal to Hudson County overflow buyers.
North Arlington's housing stock reflects its dense, urban-feeling character at 6,625 residents per square mile. Single-family detached homes — Colonials, Cape Cods, and ranches — are the primary owner-occupant target. Multi-family (2–4 units) — strong investor product given the renter majority and active rental demand. Smaller apartment buildings — contributing to the rental stock that serves the young professional population Niche specifically identifies. The borough's renter majority means the ownership market is relatively thin — fewer active SFH listings than similarly sized owner-dominant boroughs — which contributes to the 1.1 months' supply tightness. For investors: North Arlington's rental demand, Manhattan proximity, and below-Bergen-average tax bill make it one of Bergen County's most compelling multi-family investment markets at an accessible price tier.
North Arlington has multiple practical commute options given its 8.5-mile proximity to Manhattan and Hudson County border position. By car: via the NJ Turnpike, Pulaski Skyway, or Routes 1&9 north — approximately 20–30 minutes to Midtown off-peak. PATH train: drive to Kearny or Harrison PATH stations (approximately 5–8 minutes) for service to World Trade Center (~20 min) and 33rd Street (~25 min) — a fast, reliable transit option unique to North Arlington's Hudson County border position. NJ Transit bus: service via Ridge Road and Belleville Turnpike to Port Authority — approximately 30–40 minutes. 13% of residents use public transit. Average commute is 32.2 minutes. Newark Liberty Airport: approximately 10–15 minutes south via NJ Turnpike — exceptional for frequent travelers. For buyers who want Bergen County's address with Hudson County–style transit access, North Arlington is the answer.
North Arlington runs its own PreK–12 district — 6 schools, ~1,915 students, 13.2:1 overall ratio, District Factor Group DE. Niche rates the schools as "highly rated" — a meaningful endorsement for a DFG DE district, reflecting the school's genuine educational investment relative to its socioeconomic challenge and resource base. North Arlington High School (222 Ridge Road, Vikings, Royal Blue and White, established 1935, 645 students, 13.4:1) carries the motto "Pride, Loyalty, Desire" and competes in the Meadowlands Division of the North Jersey Interscholastic Conference. Bergen County Academies (BCA) in Hackensack — approximately 15 minutes north — is accessible for academically qualifying students. Bergen County Technical Schools also accessible. For buyers choosing North Arlington primarily for the Manhattan proximity and urban energy rather than school prestige, the Niche "highly rated" endorsement provides solid reassurance.
North Arlington's general tax rate is 2.304%. The official 2024 average residential tax bill is $10,865 (NJ Division of Taxation) — below the Bergen County average of $13,329 and accessible for the borough's $101,493 median household income. City-Data confirms median taxes paid in 2024 of approximately $10,001 (reflecting the full mix including smaller units). On a $600K home, expect approximately $11,000–$13,800 per year. On a $650K home, approximately $12,000–$15,000. The 2.304% rate is in Bergen County's mid-range — comparable to nearby Saddle Brook (2.306%) and Garfield (3.337% — significantly higher). For buyers coming from Jersey City or Hudson County property tax contexts, North Arlington's rate and bill profile compares favorably. Tax bills due quarterly.
The southern Bergen corridor comparison: Lyndhurst — adjacent north, 2.086% rate (lower), $10,688 avg bill (lower), NJ Transit Main Line (new station 2025), DeKorte Park, median $580K–$700K — Lyndhurst is the tax-arbitrage choice with train access. Garfield — nearby north, 3.337% rate (higher), $9,575 avg bill, 2 NJ Transit trains, "City of Champions," median $584K–$665K — Garfield has train access but higher rate. Kearny — adjacent (Hudson County), similar character, PATH access, no Bergen County school system. North Arlington — 2.304% rate, $10,865 avg bill, #14 hottest NJ, $650K median +8.4%, Passaic River, PATH via Kearny ~5 min, bars/restaurants/coffee shops, young professional energy. For buyers who want Bergen County's most urban-feeling southern community at a competitive tax bill with PATH-adjacent transit — North Arlington is the answer Lyndhurst doesn't have (urban energy) and Garfield doesn't have (PATH proximity and Otteau momentum).
Yes — strongly. The Otteau Group's #14 NJ ranking, 1.1 months' supply, and 8.4% YoY appreciation are among the most compelling seller conditions in Bergen County right now. The buyer pool is broad and motivated: young professionals priced out of Jersey City and Hoboken discovering Bergen County's most urban-feeling community; Italian, Portuguese, Hispanic, and immigrant families with established community ties in the borough; investors targeting Bergen County's most active rental market at an accessible price; and buyers specifically seeking the PATH-adjacent position with a Bergen County address. Spring (March–May) is strongest, but North Arlington's young professional buyer base is active year-round. Sellers should emphasize the Otteau ranking, PATH proximity, Newark Airport access, and the bar/restaurant energy that Niche specifically calls out. Get a free North Arlington home valuation →

North Arlington is Bergen County's most urban-feeling southern borough — and it feels different from the rest of the county because it is different. At 8.5 miles from Manhattan and 5 minutes from a Hudson County PATH station, it carries the energy of a community where most people rent, many are young professionals, the bars and restaurants on Ridge Road are full on a weeknight, and the Passaic River runs along the edge of it all. The Italian and Portuguese heritage delis coexist with Latin American restaurants and Egyptian bakeries on the same block — 17.4% Italian, 31.6% Hispanic, 32% foreign-born, in 2.48 square miles. The Vikings have played at 222 Ridge Road since 1935. The Otteau Group called it #14 hottest market in New Jersey in May 2026. Newark Airport is 10 minutes south. MetLife Stadium is 15 minutes north. For buyers who want Bergen County's address with a community that feels less like a suburb and more like a borough — North Arlington is where the county's suburban assumptions break down, and where the most interesting real estate story in southern Bergen is being written right now.
