Suburb Safe Low Crime Diverse Walkable

Cliffside Park is a bustling NYC suburb located at the top of the palisades just a couple of blocks from the Hudson River. The local rental market incorporates a mix of townhouses, apartment buildings, high-rise condos, and charming suburban homes. Combined with the close proximity to Manhattan, the relatively affordable rental market and the low crime rate attract numerous commuters to town. The location atop the Palisades offers views across the Hudson to Riverside Park and Harlem, and James J. Braddock North Hudson County Park to the southwest provides an excellent venue for outdoor recreation. The local dining scene includes a huge selection of hip and eclectic restaurants serving up cuisine from across the globe, and specialty grocers like Mitsuwa Marketplace and Nizam International Market make it easy for you to bring those unique flavors into your own kitchen. You’ll also enjoy easy access to entertainment options like Edgewater Multiplex Cinemas and the large Edgewater City Place shopping center. And of course, the endless attractions and amenities of New York are always at your fingertips.
