The Best That Jersey has to Offer! 4.5 rating By Anonymous ( May 14, 2018) When my business relocated me to Jersey City, New Jersey, I wasn't sure what to expect. Forget about everything you think you know about the Garden State, Bergenfield has it all. I can be to work in minutes, to Manhattan to eat at the best restaurants or see a Broadway show in a ...Read More half hour, or see the Giants play football only miles away.

The shopping in this part of New Jersey is spectacular, from high-end boutiques to discount outlet malls. When I want to go out at night, I can be in the clubs in New York in minutes, or be in Paterson or Newark in the blink of an eye. Living in Bergenfield has me close to all my sports teams too, from the Devils, Rangers, to the Knicks.

Some of the best areas in Bergenfield are all a few miles from my neighborhood. Everything you could need is a trip down the NJ Turnpike or up Garden State Parkway. Read Less
