Jewish community North Jersey Towns

Hi all,

Curious if anyone has any insight—

My husband and I are looking at homes in a few different towns in north NJ. We are not religious but very traditional/culturally Jewish. We’re looking to send our kids to public school (kids are now in preschool at a temple and will do Hebrew school down the line.) It is very important to us to live in a town with some Jewish population. Diversity is great but we don’t want our kids to feel like the token Jews in school.

We currently live in Demarest, and know that there is a sufficient Jewish population in Demarest, Haworth, and Closter that attend NVD—does anyone know about the nearby towns that go to NVOT? Are they comparable? Significantly fewer Jews over there? We’re curious about Harrington Park, Norwood, and Old Tappan specifically as the homes seem much more affordable than where we currently are.

Appreciate any insight!
