Mahwah
Wide open, mountain-backed, and full of variety.
The county's largest township, with room to match.
Mahwah is the largest township in Bergen County by area, stretching from the Ramapo Mountains to the New York border. Home to Ramapo College and the sprawling Ramapo Reservation, it offers hiking, open space, and a genuine sense of room.
Housing runs the full range, from townhomes and starter houses to mountainside properties, which makes Mahwah one of the most flexible towns in the county for a wide set of budgets. A Main Line train station handles the commute.
People & Lifestyle
Mahwah pairs suburban living with real wilderness. The Ramapo Valley County Reservation, Campgaw Mountain, and Ramapo College anchor a town built for hiking, skiing, and open space, with shopping and dining spread along Route 17. Its size means there's a corner and a price point for almost everyone.
