Bergen County Residential Borough
Listings in Haworth, NJ
Welcome to Haworth, a tree-lined Bergen County borough near the Oradell Reservoir, with spacious homes and highly rated schools within commuting distance of New York City.
Haworth is a small residential borough in Bergen County, New Jersey, in the northeastern corner of the state near the Oradell Reservoir. With a population of 3,343 at the 2020 census, it is among the quieter, more spread-out communities of the Pascack Valley, known for its tree-lined streets, spacious properties, and highly rated public schools. The borough is bordered by Closter, Demarest, Dumont, and Oradell, and its almost entirely residential character gives it a calm, house-proud feel. Education is a central part of Haworth's identity. Students attend Haworth Public School for kindergarten through eighth grade and then continue to the Northern Valley Regional High School District, which the borough shares with neighboring towns including Closter, Demarest, Harrington Park, Northvale, Norwood, and Old Tappan. That K-8-to-regional-high-school structure is typical of Bergen County's small boroughs and is a major draw for families. Haworth's borders give it a distinctive setting. The Oradell Reservoir, part of the region's water supply, forms a wooded edge to the borough, and the town's strictly residential zoning has preserved its open, unhurried feel. Unlike some busier Bergen County towns, Haworth has little commercial development of its own, with shopping, dining, and services concentrated in neighboring Closter, Demarest, and Oradell. This keeps daily traffic light and reinforces the borough's leafy, low-key atmosphere. The town's location balances seclusion with access. Nearby NJ Transit rail and bus service and the region's highway network keep New York City within a standard suburban commute, while the surrounding Pascack Valley provides everyday conveniences. The result is a borough that feels both removed and connected — a house-proud community where the commute to Manhattan remains a practical daily option. Haworth appeals to buyers seeking a traditional Bergen County setting: good schools, generous lots, and a low-key atmosphere, without sacrificing proximity to the city. Its stable, well-maintained housing stock and strong sense of community have kept it a consistently desirable address.

About Haworth
Real Estate & Housing
Haworth's housing stock consists overwhelmingly of single-family homes on generous, landscaped lots, reflecting the borough's deliberately residential zoning and tree-lined streets. Many homes are well-built colonials, split-levels, and center-hall styles from the mid-twentieth century, with some newer construction and renovations. The emphasis on lot size, privacy, and curb appeal gives the borough a consistently suburban, house-proud character with limited multifamily or commercial development.
Neighborhoods
Haworth functions largely as one cohesive residential community rather than a set of distinct named neighborhoods. Homes spread across quiet streets between the borough's borders with Closter, Demarest, Dumont, and Oradell, with the Oradell Reservoir forming part of the town's edge. The nearby Pascack Valley towns provide shopping and services, while the borough itself remains almost entirely residential, with no downtown commercial core of its own.
Lifestyle in Haworth
Haworth offers a calm, family-centered suburban lifestyle in one of Bergen County's quieter corners. Residents value the borough's tree-lined streets, spacious properties, and strong schools, along with a genuine small-town atmosphere that contrasts with busier nearby communities. Local life centers on the school, the neighborhoods, and the surrounding Pascack Valley, while the shops and dining of neighboring towns and the commute to New York City keep the wider region close at hand.
Schools & Education
Haworth's school system is a key part of its appeal. Haworth Public School serves students in kindergarten through eighth grade, offering a small, community-centered elementary and middle school experience. After eighth grade, students attend Northern Valley Regional High School at Demarest, part of the Northern Valley Regional High School District shared by seven Bergen County towns. The district is well regarded and reinforces the borough's family-oriented reputation.
Getting Around
Haworth sits within the Pascack Valley's commuter network. Nearby NJ Transit rail stations and bus routes connect residents to New York City and the wider Bergen County region, while local roads link the borough to Route 4 and other regional highways. Daily life is car-oriented for errands and schools, but the availability of nearby transit makes Haworth a practical choice for commuters.
Parks & Recreation
Recreation in Haworth centers on the borough's parks and the green, reservoir-edged landscape that surrounds it. The Oradell Reservoir forms a scenic boundary to the town, and local parks provide playgrounds, fields, and walking space. The broader Pascack Valley and Bergen County park systems, along with the cultural and recreational amenities of northern New Jersey, are a short drive away.
