With NJ Transit rail service and quick access to the Garden State Parkway, Park Ridge balances convenience with suburban serenity.

2. Oradell
Known for its beautiful homes and direct train line to Hoboken & Manhattan, Oradell offers excellent schools and tree-lined streets.

3. River Vale
No direct train line, but commuters love its peaceful vibe and easy drive to the Westwood or Hillsdale stations.

4. Montvale
Close to the NY border, Montvale gives you upscale living and an easy jump onto major highways to Manhattan.
