The "Hamlet" of Saddle River, is located in Bergen County, just 20 miles from N.Y.C. and is easily accessible to all the amenities required for the good life.
Despite commercialization in neighboring towns, this community has managed to protect its image of peaceful living, just minutes from all of what nearby NYC has to offer. Town &Country puts it like this: " A secluded few miles of ridges, brooks, and meandering cul-de-sacs, Saddle River installed its first traffic light only a few years ago. Blink on your way through and you'll miss it, which is just fine with the fewer than than 3,000 residents who enjoy a well-groomed, pastoral life just thirty minutes form Manhattan."

Welcome to Saddle River, New Jersey!
In the heart of Bergen county,
In among its hills and dales,
Lies a place called Saddle River,
'tis the prettiest of vales
That have ever met my vision.
And there's many We have seen,
But I think that Saddle River
Is the prettiest place I've been.
- A. Bergen Brown c. 1865
