This guide covers the City of Englewood in Bergen County, New Jersey, ZIP 07631. It does not cover the separate Borough of Englewood Cliffs.

Where Englewood, NJ Sits and Getting to Manhattan

Englewood, NJ covers 4.93 square miles of land (U.S. Census Bureau, 2020 Census). NJDOT's speed limit regulations name the city's corporate lines with Teaneck and Fort Lee (Route 4) and Leonia (Route 93). Flat Rock Brook describes its preserve as "just two miles from the George Washington Bridge". The city's official website lists its contact address as 2-10 North Van Brunt Street. Palisade Avenue, Engle Street, Grand Avenue and Van Nostrand Avenue are the streets the bus timetables use for Englewood time points.

Commuting here is mostly by bus or car.

• Bus to Midtown. NJ Transit route 166 has Englewood time points at Grand Avenue and Van Nostrand Avenue and at Engle Street and Palisade Avenue on its way to the Port Authority Bus Terminal (timetable issued September 5, 2026).
• Bus to the George Washington Bridge Bus Terminal. Routes 178 and 186 list a time point at Englewood (City Hall), Palisade Avenue at the Railroad Crossing (timetables issued July 1, 2026).

Route 756 lists Palisade Avenue at the Railroad Crossing and Van Nostrand Avenue at Grand Avenue, and route 780 lists Engle Street at Davidson Place (Englewood Hospital) and Palisade Avenue at the Railroad Crossing on its way to Passaic (timetables issued July 1, 2026). Timetables list time points, not every stop, so check NJ Transit for current stops and schedules before you plan around a route.

The Census Bureau puts the mean travel time to work for Englewood, NJ residents at 30.9 minutes (American Community Survey 5-year estimates, 2020 to 2024, QuickFacts, accessed October 11, 2026). Your own commute depends on the block, the route and the hour.

What Kinds of Homes Are in Englewood, NJ

The Census Bureau estimates that 54.5% of occupied homes in Englewood, NJ are owner-occupied (American Community Survey 5-year estimates, 2020 to 2024, accessed October 11, 2026). On October 11, 2026, Redfin's for-sale search for the city returned 78 homes; filtered by home type, it showed 35 condos, 30 houses, 7 townhouses and 4 multi-family listings.

• Single-family houses. Redfin showed 30 houses for sale on October 11, 2026. On any older house, ask early about the heating system, any past or present oil tank and open permits.
• Condominium and co-op units. Fees, what they cover and the rules differ by association or co-op board, so read the budget, reserves, rules and the listing disclosures with your attorney before you buy.
• Townhouses and multi-family buildings. For a two- to four-unit building, ask your lender how it counts rent from the other units, and have your attorney review the leases. Read selling multi-family in Englewood, NJ for how rent rolls are valued.

Englewood has rent leveling rules. Chapter 325 of the city code, Article VII, Rent Leveling, defines a rental unit to include "rooming houses, apartment buildings, townhouses, one-or-more-family homes, condominiums and cooperatives", and excludes rental space in hotels, motels and guesthouses and, "Except in the case of condominiums and cooperatives, any single rental unit which is the only rental unit owned by the owner thereof in the City of Englewood" (§ 325-49). Section 325-50 says "The base rent shall not be increased by a percentage of the base rent greater than 4% for each twelve-month period since the last rental increase" (City of Englewood code). Confirm whether it covers a specific unit, and what increases it allows, with the city and your attorney before you buy or set rents.

Also check flood status. Redfin, using First Street's model, reports: "Flood Factor - Moderate 14% of properties are at risk of severe flooding over the next 30 years", and "718 properties in Englewood are likely to be severely affected by flooding over the next 30 years" (accessed October 11, 2026). Since March 20, 2024, New Jersey sellers must disclose whether a property is in a FEMA Special or Moderate Risk Flood Hazard Area, and landlords must give tenants a flood risk notice. The Department of Community Affairs lists the notice exemptions as "dwelling units in premises containing not more than two such units; owner-occupied premises of not more than three dwelling units; and hotels, motels, or other guest houses serving transient or seasonal guests" (NJ Department of Community Affairs; P.L. 2023, c.93).

Flat Rock Brook, bergenPAC and Downtown Englewood

Flat Rock Brook describes itself as "a 150-acre nature preserve and environmental education center in Englewood, NJ", at 443 Van Nostrand Avenue, founded in 1973 (Flat Rock Brook Nature Association).

• Hours. The center lists its trails as open from dawn until dusk, and the Nature Center building as open 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on weekdays and 1 to 5 p.m. on weekends.
• Programs. The center lists education classes, naturalist-led group walks and an Adopt-a-Raptor program for its "non-releasable raptors".

bergenPAC, the Bergen Performing Arts Center, is at 30 North Van Brunt Street. bergenPAC lists the City Municipal Garage at the corner of South Dean Street and East Englewood Avenue, metered lots across the street, and free parking after 6 p.m. on weekdays and all day Sunday (bergenPAC).

Englewood, NJ Market Snapshot

Every figure below has a source and a date. Englewood listings mix houses with condo units, and a quarter with more of one type can move the median on its own, so read the numbers as a range, not a price for your home.

Redfin also reports: "On average, homes in Englewood sell after 79 days on the market compared to 80 days last year. There were 67 homes sold in August this year, down from 72 last year." (Redfin, three months ending August 2026, accessed October 11, 2026).

The gap between Redfin's $655,000 sale median and the Census Bureau's $544,100 owner-estimated value is a measurement difference. Redfin counts only recent sales. The Census figure is what owners of all homes reported over five years.

Example. At the 2025 effective rate of 2.088%, a home with a market value of $655,000 would carry an estimated property tax of about $13,680 a year. That is an estimate only. The general rate (3.116 per $100) is what the city applies to the assessed value, and the effective rate is a state comparison figure, so the actual bill depends on the assessed value of the specific property. Check the current tax record before you write an offer.
