Family-friendly New Jersey township that’s ideal for commuters
Eight miles from Upper Manhattan, Teaneck, New Jersey, is one of the city’s first bedroom communities. The township of 40,000 is culturally diverse: About 40 percent of the population is Jewish, and Muslims, Latinos and African Americans also represent a significant percentage. Teaneck’s main street is lined with shopping and restaurants, while residential streets are conducive for neighborhood strolls. “It's really a good family-friendly neighborhood,” says Nina Eizikovitz, an agent with Links Residential who specializes in Teaneck. “Families gravitate toward it because of the proximity to the city, shopping and major highways.”
Retail corridors feature locally owned businesses
Thanks to several business districts that cater to Teaneck’s diverse community, residents don’t necessarily have to get in a car to grab a bite to eat or go shopping. Cedar Lane, the largest retail corridor, has Cedar Market, providing one-stop shopping for kosher groceries, and Amarone, a local Italian favorite set in a historic carriage house. Newcomer Brvsh Cul7ur3, pronounced Brush Culture, hosts live jazz performances with a dinner menu throughout the week, and Teaneck Cinemas is a throwback-style movie theater screening a handful of mainstream and independent films. Queen Anne Road, dubbed The Plaza, is another go-to spot. It’s also home to Debonair Music Hall, an intimate venue known for tribute bands and small indie acts. Teaneck Road is home to Amanta Latina Cuisine for homemade Dominican food, as well as Asante’s Restaurant for West African fare in a trendy space. Stop & Shop is conveniently found in town, and a wide variety of big-box shopping exists in nearby Paramus, including Westfield Garden State Plaza, one of New Jersey’s largest malls.
Teaneck Cinemas is a short walk from residents as it sits on Cedar Ln.

Older Tudors and Colonials mix with contemporary styles
Much of Teaneck’s housing stock dates to the early 1900s, and Tudor-style homes, Colonials, Cape Cods and split-levels are the most common styles. The inventory has evolved with new-build townhomes such as Parkside Lane. Rhoda Russo, a broker-associate and Teaneck specialist with Russo Real Estate, reflects on how it’s not just Teaneck’s housing stock that’s changing. “I think we're even more of a melting pot for everybody, because that's what everybody's looking for,” she says, referring to the cultural diversity attracting buyers from NYC. The median home price is $555,000, which gets a small starter home needing renovation. Homes in all price ranges can be found on wide, tree-lined streets with sidewalks, making it possible to walk to nearby parks or businesses in some areas.
