River Vale sits on the seam between the Pascack Valley and the Northern Valley, which is part of why buyers like it — you get quieter streets and golf frontage, and you are still a few minutes from the towns everyone else is shopping. Harrington Park is directly east, a two-square-mile borough with a single PK-8 school. Old Tappan is just northeast. Norwood, Northvale and Closter round out the cluster. To compare them all in one place, start with my Bergen County neighborhood guide. Niche currently ranks River Vale #18 of 414 New Jersey suburbs for raising a family and #24 for buying a house.
