River Vale Homes
Although rich with Revolutionary War
history, one of the first things you
notice when coming to see River Vale
homes is how young they are compared
to elsewhere in Bergen County. The
average age of River Vale homes is
36 years. This is because River Vale
is younger than most towns;
incorporated in 1906, a great many
River Vale homes were built after
1970.River Vale really is the
quintessential small town. Nearly
all River Vale homes are single
family houses set upon lush green
lawns in quiet neighborhoods of
winding streets with towering trees.
You’ll even find a semi private golf
course right in the middle of River
Vale that over looks Lake Tappan.
There are forested areas so it’s no
wonder that you might be surprised
by deer when looking at River Vale
homes!
Community spirit is very keen
with a lot of volunteerism such as
Neighbors Helping Neighbors and
large turnouts for events like the
Halloween Ragamuffin Parade,
Oktoberfest and Memorial Day Parade.
The River Vale lifestyle comes from
strong family values – parents are
active in the schools, Girl Scout
and Boy Scout troops are well
supported, the public library is
very popular and there are family
movie nights during the summer.
Rivervale Road and Westwood
Avenue are the only main streets in
River Vale. The quaint business
district is at their intersection
known as “Four Corners.” Friendly
shopkeepers, some in business for
decades, have a tradition of giving
back to the community. They
regularly donate food to local
charities for fund raising.
Another big draw for River Vale
homes is the school system which is
a top rated district in New Jersey.
With a 13.4 to 1 student teacher
ratio, 1.2 to 1 student to computer
ratio and excellent facilities,
students here excel when they get to
prestigious Pascack Valley Regional
High School and beyond. Parent
involvement, motivated teachers and
a terrific system combine for a
great student experience.
River Vale is such an exceptional
place to raise a family that Money
Magazine rated it as one of the top
100 towns in the USA. With all these
positives, River Vale homes maintain
their value well and continue to be
in strong demand. When looking in
the Pascack Valley, make sure that
River Vale homes are always on your
“must see” list!
