The Census Bureau puts the mean travel time to work for West New York, NJ residents at 34.5 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 West New York, NJ

The Census Bureau estimates that 23.0% of occupied homes in West New York, NJ are owner-occupied (American Community Survey 5-year estimates, 2020 to 2024, accessed October 11, 2026), so most occupied homes are rented. On October 11, 2026, Redfin's for-sale search for the town returned 137 homes; filtered by home type, it showed 113 condos, 18 multi-family listings, 4 houses and 2 townhouses.

• Condominium units. Fees, reserves and rules differ by association, so read the budget, the rules and the listing disclosures with your attorney before you buy.
• Multi-family buildings. Redfin showed 18 for sale on October 11, 2026, the second-largest group after condos. Ask your lender how it counts rent from the other units, have your attorney review the leases, and check the rent control status described below.
• Houses and townhouses. Redfin showed 4 houses and 2 townhouses for sale on October 11, 2026.

West New York has rent control. Chapter 312 of the town code exempts "Owner-occupied two-, three- and four-family dwellings" (with a carve-out for some tenants in four-unit buildings) and "Premises newly constructed (from the ground up) where construction has commenced after October 1, 1995" (Town of West New York code). Section 312-19, "Maximum increase", as amended April 15, 2026 by Ordinance No. 10/26, reads: "In all cases, combined rent increases for all causes shall be limited to an amount not to exceed 3% in any one 12-month period" (Town of West New York code). The town's Rent Control page lists a Rent Control Office and Rent Control Board meetings. Confirm coverage and the allowed increase for a specific building with the town and your attorney before you buy or set rents.

Also check flood status. Redfin, using First Street's model, reports: "Flood Factor - Minor 13% of properties are at risk of severe flooding over the next 30 years", and "78 properties in West New York 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).

West New York, NJ Market Snapshot

Every figure below has a source and a date. Redfin counted 61 West New York sales in August 2026, and a quarter with more new-construction or more older-building sales 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 West New York sell after 58 days on the market compared to 75 days last year. There were 61 homes sold in August this year, down from 63 last year." (Redfin, three months ending August 2026, accessed October 11, 2026).

The gap between Redfin's $675,000 sale median and the Census Bureau's $465,600 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 1.771%, a home with a market value of $675,000 would carry an estimated property tax of about $11,950 a year. That is an estimate only. West New York assessments sit far below market value (the 2025 average residential assessment was $98,696), which is why the general rate is 8.707 per $100 while the effective rate is 1.771%. The actual bill depends on the assessed value of the specific property, and a new building may carry a tax abatement with its own schedule. Read the tax line on a West New York listing and check the current tax record before you write an offer.
