While not much farther from New York than Bergen, many Passaic communities feature more spacious neighborhoods and are known for beloved nature spots, like the Botanical Gardens of New Jersey in Ringwood. The county has busier hubs like Clifton, or areas with quieter lifestyles like Ringwood and Bloomingdale.
Clifton is a large and diverse Passaic County city, taking up five ZIP codes and housing more than 88,000 residents. Despite its size, the city is broken up into more than 10 distinct neighborhoods that each offer their own close-knit communities and varying housing styles.
Clifton’s large size lends itself to be a diverse cultural hub filled with eclectic restaurants, a variety of housing styles and an abundance of amenities, all within close proximity to New York City.
The hottest ZIP code in Clifton for 2024 is 07013, where a home sold for $599,000, according to Joel Bergen, Realtor.com’s senior economist, who compiled a list of the top homebuying ZIP codes for each of the five North Jersey counties in 2024.
These rankings were based on the number of unique views of property listings and the number of days listings remained active. The ZIP codes with the hottest market demand had a high number of unique views per property and listings that remained on the market for a short period of time. Rankings are based on data collected from January to November 2024.
