What Kinds of Homes Are in Palisades Park, NJ

The Census Bureau estimates that 35.5% of occupied homes in Palisades Park, NJ are owner-occupied (American Community Survey 5-year estimates, 2020 to 2024, accessed October 11, 2026), so most occupied units are rented. On October 11, 2026, Redfin's for-sale search for the borough returned 46 homes; filtered by home type, it showed 20 condos, 16 multi-family listings, 5 townhouses and 1 house.

• Condominium units. Read the master deed, budget and any shared-cost agreement with your attorney, because a small association may have no reserves or management company.

Palisades Park has rent control. Chapter 235 of the borough code, Rent Control, establishes a Rent Leveling Board. Section 235-3 exempts "Commercial buildings containing less than three rental apartment dwelling units" and "One-, two- or three-family residences, whether or not owner occupied", along with public housing, hotels and motels and units regulated by state or federal law. Section 235-27 says "The base rent may be increased by an amount equal to 4% of the base rent" once in each twelve-month period, with 30 days notice, and § 235-29 sets the rent for a vacated unit (Borough of Palisades Park code). Confirm with the borough clerk and your attorney whether it covers a specific building before you buy or set rents.

Also check flood status. Redfin, using First Street's model, reports: "Flood Factor - Minor 6% of properties are at risk of severe flooding over the next 30 years", and "162 properties in Palisades Park 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).

Broad Avenue, Overpeck Sportsplex and Recreation

The Borough of Palisades Park's municipal building is at 275 Broad Avenue. In June 2026 the borough advertised for bids on the NJDOT FY2025 Broad Avenue Improvements project, covering Broad Avenue from Edsall Boulevard to Oakdene Avenue, with milling, paving, curb and sidewalk repair, ADA curb ramps and striping among the work (Borough of Palisades Park notice to bidders). For what corridor work means for owners, read Broad Avenue new construction and Palisades Park sellers.

• Overpeck Sportsplex, Roosevelt Street. Bergen County lists a multi-purpose turf field, permit athletic fields for baseball and softball, field event areas (shot put, discus, long jump and others) and an ADA-accessible playground.
• Overpeck County Park. The county says five municipalities, "Englewood, Leonia, Palisades Park, Ridgefield Park, and Teaneck", donated the land, that the park now spans "more than 805 acres", and that amenities include 5 miles of walking and bike trails, a canoe and kayak launch and a grass amphitheater (Bergen County Department of Parks).
• Recreation. The Palisades Park Recreation Department posts seasonal events. On October 11, 2026 its page listed a movie night at Lindbergh Field and a free fall concert at the municipal building, 275 Broad Avenue, on October 17 (Borough of Palisades Park).

Palisades Park, NJ Market Snapshot

Every figure below has a source and a date. Redfin counted 35 Palisades Park sales in August 2026, and in a market that small a shift in the mix of condos, multi-family buildings and houses sold can move the median sharply. Read the numbers as a range, not a price for your home.

Redfin also reports: "On average, homes in Palisades Park sell after 80 days on the market compared to 76 days last year. There were 35 homes sold in August this year, down from 41 last year." (Redfin, three months ending August 2026, accessed October 11, 2026).

The gap between Redfin's $1,215,000 sale median and the Census Bureau's $719,600 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 1.393%, a home with a market value of $1,215,000 would carry an estimated property tax of about $16,920 a year. That is an estimate only. The general rate (1.463 per $100) is what the borough 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. The average residential assessment rose for 2026, so check the current tax record before you write an offer.
