Welcome to Alpine, NJ
Alpine is a small, prestigious borough in Bergen County, New Jersey, celebrated for its expansive luxury estates, low property taxes, and breathtaking natural surroundings. Nestled atop the Palisades alongside the Hudson River, Alpine was formally incorporated in 1903. The borough’s name was inspired by the wife of 19th-century journalist Charles Nordhoff, who felt the dramatic cliffs and rolling terrain were reminiscent of the Swiss Alps.
Today, Alpine stands as one of the most exclusive and wealthy zip codes in the United States. Residents enjoy an unparalleled level of privacy and tranquility while remaining just 15 miles from the vibrant heart of Midtown Manhattan. While Alpine itself is a peaceful, purely residential enclave without a traditional commercial downtown, residents are seamlessly connected to world-class shopping, dining, and fitness amenities in neighboring towns like Closter, Tenafly, and Demarest.
Nature and recreation are foundational to the Alpine lifestyle. The borough contains significant portions of the Palisades Interstate Park, offering scenic lookouts, miles of hiking trails, and historic landmarks like the Blackledge-Kearney House. With its exceptional privacy, majestic river views, and top-tier local schooling, Alpine remains the premier destination for discerning homeowners seeking suburban luxury and sanctuary.
