Bergen County's county seat: a revitalizing Main Street, a major medical center, NJ Transit rail service and some of the county's most accessible prices.
Living in Hackensack
A county seat on the rise
Hackensack is home to the Bergen County courthouse and government offices and to Hackensack University Medical Center, one of the region's largest hospitals. Downtown Main Street has seen new apartment buildings, restaurants and public spaces in recent years.
The city's housing includes condos, co-ops, two-family homes and single-family houses, which keeps its median price well below many Bergen towns, a strong option for first-time buyers and investors.
We help buyers compare Hackensack with nearby Teaneck, Paramus and River Edge, and help investors evaluate multi-family properties.
