Located just minutes from Manhattan, Wood-Ridge offers suburban living with exceptional access to New York City. This Bergen County borough, with a population now exceeding 10,000 residents, serves commuters through two train stations - the Wood-Ridge station on the Pascack Valley Line and the Wesmont station on the Bergen County Line - both providing direct service to Secaucus Junction and New York Penn Station.

The neighborhood surrounding the Wesmont station has developed into a residential hub with new housing developments. The Valley Boulevard corridor attracts residents with its multiple bus lines serving the Port Authority Bus Terminal and Newark Penn Station. The Sussex Road area features charming tree-lined streets with classic single-family homes, while the Highland Avenue section showcases spectacular NYC skyline views. Commuters benefit from Wood-Ridge's location near Route 17 and major highways, with Manhattan accessible in approximately 30-45 minutes by train or bus. Along Hackensack Street and Valley Boulevard, residents find local shops and restaurants, complemented by a revitalized downtown that creates an inviting, walkable community atmosphere.
