Tenafly Homes

Tenafly homes are always in high demand. In fact, more Tenafly homes sold in 2009 than they did in 2008 and price depreciation, which was severe for many other affluent locations in Bergen County, was an almost miserly 6% for Tenafly homes and all indications are that Tenafly homes will not experience depreciation in 2010.

Indisputably one of the most in demand locations in the New York metropolitan area, Tenafly has all the features people desire. Let’s start with location – simply perfect. Tenafly is 8 miles from New York City; it’s a 10 minute drive to the toll booths on the George Washington Bridge and 15 minutes to all major highways. All metropolitan airports are nearby as well – less than a one hour drive and Bergen County’s famous shopping malls are less than 5 miles away.

As for shopping, Tenafly has a robust and extensive business district that covers many blocks in size and contains everything from a gourmet cooking shop to a local news stand. We have everything in between with plenty of good restaurants, personal services such as beauty salons and an exercise club, a supermarket, dry cleaner, woman’s dress shop and a multi generation owned book store just for openers.
Because the down town is so extensive, it’s also a place where people meet each other; it’s not unusual to see someone you know with every trip. For all its large size, Tenafly is a very close community.

A primary reason for this is the school district – people move here because of the schools which boast the highest SAT scores in Bergen County. In fact, Tenafly is one of the most powerful school districts in New Jersey with facilities second to none. Parent participation is high and school board elections are hotly contested; people care keenly about their school district and support it strongly.

For all its reputation for affluence, Tenafly has a surprisingly wide demographic. It has estate homes on acre lots on the East Hill and more moderate properties on the west side of town but this is a tightly knit community where people come together as one. This special characteristic of the Tenafly community makes living here a very wonderful experience.

Tenafly is one of the crown jewels of Bergen County known for it’s sophisticated and affluent population and yet it is a sweet small town where you can raise your family with classic all American values. Can it be any surprise that Tenafly homes are always in high demand?
