Bergen County, New Jersey

Saddle River

Median residential lot exceeds 2 acres — among the largest in Bergen County

Saddle River is one of Bergen County's most exclusive communities, defined by large parcels — the median residential lot exceeds 2 acres — and a predominantly custom and luxury housing stock. The borough has minimal commercial development and a rural residential character, with equestrian-compatible properties and significant lot privacy throughout. Construction skews newer relative to most Bergen County communities, reflecting sustained investment in large-scale custom and manor-style homes since the 1980s. Route 17 provides the primary commuter connection.
