Located just 8 miles from the George Washington Bridge, Maywood allows its residents the opportunity to live a slower paced, more suburban lifestyle – without giving up access to New York City’s amenities. Even in comparison to some other nearby suburbs of NYC, Maywood manages to feel particularly cozy – perhaps due to the borough being just over 1 mile. “There are a few other communities that can offer a reasonable commute to the city, but Maywood has the most genuine suburban feel to it,” says Alena Ciccarelli, Realtor Associate with Christie’s International Real Estate. “It’s just a really cozy area that can still offer great access.” With its mixture of open space, easy access and charming atmosphere, those looking to give up the hustle and bustle without giving up access may find what they’re looking for in Maywood.
Maywood is a great town for families to live and thrive.

Cape Cod and Colonial Revival styles are common
With its charming suburban feel, Maywood is a popular destination for those who have to commute – something that’s become truer in the last few years. “Housing here is in high demand, and has been increasing every year for a decade,” says Simone Healey, broker associate at Vikki Healey Properties and a lifelong resident of Maywood. “We used to like calling it a hidden gem – but it’s becoming less hidden with each day.” Homes tend to be packed fairly close together in Maywood, but the extra space still affords homeowners room for gardening and modest yards. Common styles include Cape Cod and colonial revivals, along with split-levels. Traditional in its aesthetic and atmosphere, prospective homebuyers can even find traditional homes with Tudor accents. Prices range from $380,000 to $800,000, making it slightly more affordable than some of its neighboring communities.

Pleasant Avenue offers shopping and dining choices
Pleasant Avenue serves as the main commercial area of Maywood, with it featuring a number of small shops and restaurants. “Pleasant Avenue is our version of Main Street, and its very aptly named,” says Healey. “It’s small but features just about everything you need.” Seafood Gourmet is a small market with fresh fish selections and a casual restaurant out back. Amici’s serves up wood-fired pizzas, while Uptown Coffee Co. features fresh pastries, tea, and coffee. General grocery needs can be met at the local Target or at Maywood Marketplace. Bergen Town Center Mall features additional shopping and dining options. “One of the things that’s nice about Maywood is that it’s less commercial, in general,” says Ciccarelli. “You won’t find as many big chains in the town, which makes more room for mom-and-pops.”
