Tenafly Borough Hall 100 Riveredge Road, Tenafly, NJ (201) 568-6100
Tenafly is a borough in Bergen County, in the New York metro area. Tenafly sits on the Palisades of the Hudson River. The community name derives from Dutch for "garden meadow".
Tenafly takes up 4.4 square miles with a population of 13,806. It is predominately a residential community with a total of 4,897 housing units. Tenafly's street plan and overall development were largely determined by its hills, its valleys and its tall trees, which have given the borough its special charm. Since it became a Borough, Tenafly has been governed by a Mayor and Council who are chosen through partisan elections. The Mayor is the chief executive officer and the six Council members handle legislative functions. The Municipal Center located at 100 Riveredge Road is the seat of Tenafly's government.
The Board of Education is the policy-making body of the school district. The Superintendent of Schools is the Board's chief executive officer responsible for administering the entire school system. The Tenafly Public Schools serve students from Kindergarten through twelfth grade. The district operates four K-5 elementary schools (Mackay School, Maugham School, Smith School and Stillman School), Tenafly Middle School for grades 6-8, and Tenafly High School for grades 9-12. Students from Alpine attend Tenafly High School as part of a sending/receiving relationship. The United States Department of Education awarded Tenafly High School a Blue Ribbon School Award at a special assembly to the Tenafly High School Community on September 20, 2005. Tenafly was the only high school in New Jersey and one of 38 public high schools in the U.S. to receive the 2005 Blue Ribbon School Award.
Fine schools, quality housing, recreational facilities, parks and woodlands, good cultural programs, diverse houses of worship, and quality borough services all help to attract newcomers to and keep older residents in this historic town.

First Time Buyers >A Great Opportunity
Home ownership may seem like "the impossible dream" to first-time buyers who have to stretch in order to purchase their first home. Many younger buyers can afford the monthly mortgage payments, but may have to get creative to cover the down payment and closing costs.
Contact a real estate professional if you are thinking about buying your first home. For those whose funds are limited, there may be possibilities you have not considered, such as local or federal loan programs that can help get you moved into your new home. There are many flexible new mortgage loans available to first-time buyers. Sellers are sometimes willing to extend a small loan to help cover closing costs in order to complete the sale.
You can also consider the many housing options available. There are beautiful condominiums and townhouses with desirable amenities and prices that are designed to appeal to first-time buyers who cannot yet afford a single-family detached home.
