Spacious, safe and family-oriented neighborhood less than 30 miles from New York City
Norwood is a suburban borough in Bergen County, New Jersey just a few miles south of the border with New York. The neighborhood offers residents a slower pace of life with an almost small-town feel. The neighborhood is centered on its family-oriented. From the large lots, spacious parks, and well-regarded school system, it has everything to attract families. “Norwood is the greatest place to raise children,” Jill Saunders, a Realtor with Sotheby’s International Realty and a longtime resident says. “There are a lot of beautiful tree areas. You feel like you’re further from the city but you’re not.”
From colonials and ranches to spacious new-traditional homes
Most homes in Norwood often have spacious front and back yards with plenty of room for kids or pets to play. Colonials, ranch-style and split-level homes are the most common housing styles for homes at the lower end of the price range in Norwood. These homes sell for between $500,000 and $1.1 million. New traditional homes have become more prevalent in the neighborhood and typically cost between $950,000 and $3.3 million. While the neighborhood does have sidewalks, they don’t line all streets.

It’s a family-orientated restaurant,” Saunders says. Residents looking to satisfy a sweet tooth can also treat themselves to a unique, delicious mochi-filled donut or boba tea at Mochinut. For shopping, locals head to Closter Plaza, just south of the neighborhood, which offers stores such as Target, Whole Foods and HomeGoods.

All is good in Norwood. Houses are ridiculously expensive, however. The cheapest place you can rent would be at Sutton Place.

I have never regretted living in Norwood. I have grown up here and would not have chosen anywhere else in the world. I will admit, at times, I was frustrated with the public school system and the occasionally boring nightlife but those were just minor bumps in the road. The people are friendly and the neighborhood is safe. I have never had a serious incident. I've lived in three different houses in this town and have enjoyed all of them.
