Suburban sophistication with urban access
Neighborhood Overview
Englewood is one of Bergen County's most dynamic communities, a city that has undergone significant revitalization over the past two decades. The downtown area along Palisade Avenue has transformed into a walkable, restaurant-rich district that rivals anything in the region.

The Bergen Performing Arts Center (bergenPAC) anchors the cultural scene, hosting national touring acts and community productions year-round.
