Englewood Cliffs, NJ homes for sale & real estate.
Browse homes for sale in Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey. An affluent, low-density borough atop the Hudson Palisades in eastern Bergen County, Englewood Cliffs is defined by large wooded estates, a quiet residential character, and an unusually fast Manhattan commute over the George Washington Bridge just to the south. Its housing runs to the top of the market: expansive single-family estates and custom new-construction homes on generous, tree-lined lots, on the streets west of Route 9W and the corporate corridor that shares the borough.
Englewood Cliffs sits at the top of the Palisades along Route 9W (Sylvan Avenue), with the George Washington Bridge directly south in Fort Lee and the Palisades Interstate Parkway close by. It has no rail station, but NJ Transit buses along Route 9W reach the George Washington Bridge Bus Terminal and the Port Authority, and the bridge itself puts Upper Manhattan minutes away by car. Prices sit near the top of the county: most single-family homes run from about $1 million to $2.5 million, and the largest new estates on wooded Palisades lots climb well past $3 million.

Englewood Cliffs is a single, affluent enclave rather than a town of distinct neighborhoods, so the choice here is about lot, privacy, and how new the home is. The borough is overwhelmingly residential estate streets west of Hudson Terrace and Route 9W, where large center-hall colonials, contemporary custom homes, and new-construction estates sit on generous, tree-lined lots. Along the eastern edge, Route 9W (Sylvan Avenue) forms a corporate corridor, and beyond it the land drops away to the Palisades cliffs and the Hudson. Compare Englewood Cliffs with its Palisades-top and waterfront neighbors below before you choose.
Englewood Cliffs's character is defined by the Palisades and by its corporate presence. Incorporated in 1895 and home to only about 5,300 residents, the borough has long paired wooded, low-density luxury housing with a Route 9W business corridor that today is anchored by the LG Electronics North America headquarters, a 27-acre riverfront campus opened in 2021. The eastern edge of the borough falls within the National Historic Landmark of Palisades Interstate Park, whose cliffs and Hudson overlooks give Englewood Cliffs both its name and its setting. The result is a rare combination in Bergen County: estate-scale living with a major corporate tax base and a bridge to Manhattan minutes away.
Compared with its neighbors, Englewood Cliffs offers more land and privacy than the high-rise waterfront of Fort Lee and Edgewater below the cliffs, and a quieter, more uniformly upscale character than the varied city of Englewood next door. Buyers cross-shop it against Tenafly and the East Hill of Englewood for estate-scale homes, and against Alpine and Cresskill farther north when they want the largest, most private lots. Its proximity to the George Washington Bridge is a decisive advantage for buyers who commute to Manhattan by car.
Life, commute, and work-life balance in Englewood Cliffs.
Englewood Cliffs draws buyers who want space, privacy, and a genuinely fast Manhattan commute. Because the borough sits at the top of the Palisades directly above the George Washington Bridge, a resident can be on the bridge and into Upper Manhattan in minutes by car, or catch an NJ Transit bus along Route 9W to the bridge terminal and the Port Authority. That access, paired with wooded estate lots and a quiet, low-density setting, is exactly what draws executives and privacy-seeking households to the borough.
The work-life balance here is private and low-key rather than walkable and social. Daily life centers on the home and the yard rather than a downtown - the borough is residential and corporate, with everyday shopping and dining a short drive away in Englewood, Fort Lee, or along Route 4 - and the Palisades Interstate Park trails and overlooks provide the main outdoor amenity. For buyers coming from Manhattan, the appeal is space, quiet, and a short commute; for those coming from a walkable town, the trade is a car-oriented, estate-scale lifestyle.
The trade-offs are those of a small luxury enclave. Inventory is limited and prices sit near the top of the county, the borough has no downtown or rail station and no high school of its own, and daily life is car-dependent. Buyers who prioritize space, privacy, and the fast bridge commute accept those trade-offs readily; those who want a walkable downtown or a wider range of prices look to Englewood or Tenafly instead. Either way, it is the combination of estate living and Manhattan proximity that keeps Englewood Cliffs in demand.

The Englewood Cliffs market, by the numbers.
The median list price in Englewood Cliffs, NJ is currently $1.8M, about $400 per square foot. Homes here average 50 days on market with roughly 30 active listings. Updated Spring 2026.
Englewood Cliffs's market is small, luxury-driven, and concentrated at the high end. With only a few dozen homes typically active at once, well-located estates and new-construction homes trade in their own tier, and the limited supply of large wooded lots keeps values firm even when the broader market cools.
Updated Spring 2026
Within Englewood Cliffs, the largest new-construction and custom estates on prime Palisades-top lots command the highest prices, while established homes on smaller lots and the rare condo offer the more attainable entry points. Because inventory is thin and each estate is distinct, comparing specific properties and lots matters far more here than tracking a single median. Call 888-327-6555 for a street-by-street breakdown.
