Franklin Lakes, NJ homes for sale & real estate.
Browse homes for sale in Franklin Lakes, New Jersey. An affluent, low-density borough in the Ramapo foothills of northwestern Bergen County, Franklin Lakes is defined by large wooded and lakeside estates, top-ranked regional schools, and a quiet, country feel within easy reach of Manhattan. Its housing sits near the top of the county market: sprawling custom colonials and contemporary estates on generous lots around Franklin Lake and Crystal Lake, in the established Urban Farms community, and on the streets that climb toward the Ramapo Mountains.
Franklin Lakes is reached by Route 208, Franklin Avenue, and High Mountain Road, with Interstate 287 and the Garden State Parkway a short drive away, and while the borough has no rail station of its own, those highways and nearby Main Line and Bergen County Line stations give residents workable routes toward the George Washington Bridge and the Port Authority. Prices reflect the land and the schools: most single-family homes run from about $1 million to $2.5 million, and the largest estates on wooded or lakeside lots climb well past $4 million.

Explore Franklin Lakes and nearby Bergen communities.
Franklin Lakes is an estate town rather than a place of dense, distinct neighborhoods, so the choice here is about lot, privacy, and setting. The land around Franklin Lake and Crystal Lake holds some of the borough's most sought-after homes, the established Urban Farms community offers a planned enclave of custom homes on winding roads, and the streets climbing toward the Ramapo foothills provide the largest, most private wooded lots and, on the higher ground, distant views. Gated communities add another layer of privacy. Compare Franklin Lakes with its Ramapo-foothill and Saddle River Valley neighbors below before you choose.
Franklin Lakes's character is rooted in its landscape. Set where the Ramapo Mountains meet the suburban plain, the borough grew from farmland and lakeside summer retreats into one of the wealthiest communities in New Jersey, consistently ranked among the highest-income municipalities in the state. Its identity is built on space and privacy - large lots, mature woods, two namesake lakes, and preserved open space in the foothills - paired with the strong Ramapo Indian Hills regional schools that draw families willing to trade a walkable downtown for land and quiet.
Compared with its neighbors, Franklin Lakes offers larger lots and more estate-scale privacy than Wyckoff and Allendale next door, and a more rural, foothill setting than the Saddle River Valley towns to the east. Buyers cross-shop it against Saddle River and Upper Saddle River for estate-scale homes and against Mahwah and Wyckoff when they want the same regional schools with a range of prices. Its combination of lakes, foothills, and top schools is difficult to match elsewhere in Bergen County.
Life, commute, and work-life balance in Franklin Lakes.
Franklin Lakes draws buyers who want space, privacy, and top schools within reach of New York City. Daily life here centers on the home, the lots, and the outdoors rather than a downtown: residents walk wooded trails, boat or relax by the lakes, and drive a few minutes to the shopping of Wyckoff, Ramsey, or Route 17, then take Route 208 or Interstate 287 toward the George Washington Bridge or a nearby rail station for the Manhattan commute. That blend of country setting and metropolitan access is exactly what pulls executives and families up into the Ramapo foothills.
The work-life balance here is private and low-key. Franklin Lakes is residential and green, with everyday shopping and dining a short drive away and life organized around the schools, youth sports, and the lakes and preserves rather than a Main Street. For buyers coming from a city or a denser suburb, the appeal is space, quiet, and top-ranked schools; the adjustment is a car-oriented lifestyle where errands and the commute both start with a drive.
The trade-offs are those of a luxury foothill town. Prices sit near the top of the county, inventory is limited, the borough has no rail station or walkable downtown of its own, and large wooded lots mean more property to maintain. Buyers who prioritize space, privacy, and the regional schools accept those trade-offs readily; those who want a walk-to-train commute or a lively downtown look to Ridgewood or Ramsey instead. Either way, it is the land, the lakes, and the schools that keep Franklin Lakes in demand.

The Franklin Lakes market, by the numbers.
The median list price in Franklin Lakes, NJ is currently $1.95M, about $340 per square foot. Homes here average 60 days on market with roughly 54 active listings. Updated Spring 2026.
Franklin Lakes's market is a small, luxury-driven segment of the Bergen County market. Estates and custom homes trade in their own high tier, days on market run longer than in the county's lower-priced towns as buyers take time to find the right property, and the limited supply of large lots keeps values firm.
Updated Spring 2026
Within Franklin Lakes, the largest estates on prime lakeside or wooded Ramapo lots command the highest prices, while smaller homes, townhomes, and older houses on more modest lots offer the more attainable entry points. Because each estate is distinct, comparing specific properties, lots, and finishes matters far more here than tracking a single median. Call 888-327-6555 for a street-by-street breakdown.
