Bergen County is a great place to work and live. I lived here for over 3 years and I
live nearby. The traffic is never too long, its close to the highway and there are
a lot of healthy choices for food. There are a few local schools with big play
grounds for students. There are parks, lots of trees and nature around. The
neighborhoods are dog/ pet friendly. I am not too familiar with nightlife but I
have seen a good amount of bars around. There is a large real estate market has
a variety of large homes and apartments are all close to the highway and or are
about 5 - 10 minutes away from transportation. Transportation consists of
buses, trains and we are also about 20 - 30 minutes from New York city. There
are no tolls until you actually get to NYC, the ride there is pretty smooth. There
roads are paved pretty nicely. All you need is some good music and you're on
your way. There is also quite a bit of diversity, you can also find a few good local clubs to join.

Yeah, this county is pretty pog. And, please, please, please, please, please, please, please ignore the liars who rated it 1 star. Poopy heads
Bergen County is a great area, with very exceptional school and friendly/safe neighborhoods. The only thing I'd change about the location is add more entertainment in the area for the youth, besides that the area is amazing.
