The number on the listing is not the number you keep. Here is how pricing, carrying costs, timing, concessions and offer terms fit together.
Read the articleA small, leafy Northern Valley borough of single-family homes, two golf clubs and the Oradell Reservoir, with a K–8 school and Northern Valley Regional High School at Demarest.

Single-family homes on established, tree-lined streets, with steady rebuilding and renovation.
Average sale prices: 12-month averages from NJMLS data via Madison Adams, as of October 2026. Median home value, median rent, owner-occupancy and population: U.S. Census Bureau (ACS 2020–2024 and 2025 population estimates). Effective tax rate: NJ Department of the Treasury, 2025 (not a tax bill). Sub-areas are examples, not official boundaries.
Haworth students attend Haworth Public School through grade 8, then Northern Valley Regional High School at Demarest. Bergen County Academies and Bergen Tech are open by application.
School assignments depend on the exact address. I will confirm the district and schools for any home you are considering, and you can check current profiles on the New Jersey School Performance Reports site.
School assignments and admissions can change. Review district information and the NJ School Performance Reports directly. We do not rank communities by school ratings or recommend neighborhoods based on protected characteristics.
Grades, admissions, tuition and bus availability change; confirm details with each school. In-town schools are listed first; the list is not a ranking or endorsement. New Jersey districts may provide transportation to some nonpublic schools within 20 miles of home.
| Option | To Midtown | To Downtown |
|---|---|---|
| NJ Transit buses 167 / 177 to Port Authority | ~45–70 min | ~75–100 min with subway |
| NJ Transit 186 to the GWB Bus Station, then A train | ~45–60 min | ~60–80 min |
Typical off-peak ride times shown as ranges; some are estimates. Rush hour and tunnel or bridge traffic can add 15 to 45 minutes. Many Haworth commuters drive to a park-and-ride or to the George Washington Bridge; test your exact route at rush hour. Confirm current routes, fares and schedules with NJ Transit and Rockland Coaches before you decide.
