When it comes to New Jersey boroughs, Norwood has it all

Wooded Family-Friendly Park-Like Community Quiet Convenient

Just two miles from the New Jersey-New York border, Norwood combines history, charm, convenience, and more in a tight-knit, community-driven environment. With a low crime rate and excellent public schools, families flock to Norwood. But the numerous coffee shops, delis, restaurants, and bagel shops — residents love to debate New York versus New Jersey bagels — there’s plenty to see and do within the neighborhood itself.

Norwood is surrounded by parks. Alpine Park, Pondside Park, and Pascack Brook County Park lend a wooded feel to this suburban locale. But with New York City and White Plains just across the Hudson River, it’s easy to step into a big-city environment in minutes, whether it’s for work or play.
