Franklin Lakes
Large lots, lake communities, and quiet privacy.
Where Bergen County spreads out.
Franklin Lakes is where Bergen County spreads out. Expansive lots, lake communities like Urban Farms and High Mountain, and some of the most private estates in the county define the landscape.
It's a drive-first town built for space and seclusion rather than sidewalks, favored by families and executives who want land, privacy, and top-tier schools within striking distance of the city.
