Saddle River, Residential borough in Bergen County, United States
Saddle River is a residential borough in Bergen County featuring spacious estates, open fields, farmland, and forested areas throughout. The landscape is shaped by large private properties separated by natural spaces and quiet streets.
The community was established as a borough in 1894 when it separated from the former Orvil Township through a local referendum. This decision set the foundation for its development as a purely residential area.
The community emphasizes privacy and family life, with residents drawn to spacious properties and a connection to nature that shapes how the place looks and feels. Tree-lined streets and expansive lawns define the character of daily life here.
The location sits about 25 miles northwest of Manhattan with convenient access to New York City for commuters. Local municipal services and community programs support residents who choose to live here.
The municipality operates as a dry town with no alcohol sales allowed, setting it apart from many surrounding areas. This policy reflects longstanding community values that remain central to life here.
