South Hackensack is a small township in southern Bergen County made up of several separate sections near Hackensack and the Meadowlands. The community combines residential streets with warehouses, light industry, offices, and highway-oriented commercial properties. Interstate 80, Routes 46 and 17, and nearby New Jersey Turnpike connections provide access to Hackensack, Newark, New York City, and major transportation hubs. Bergen County occupies northeastern New Jersey, combining dense commercial corridors and older boroughs with lower-density neighborhoods, river valleys, and the Palisades. Its extensive road, rail, and bus network ties local communities closely to Manhattan, Newark, the Meadowlands, and the rest of northern New Jersey. Its combination of local character and regional access helps distinguish South Hackensack from nearby communities. The township’s mix of neighborhoods, civic uses, business activity, open space, and roads defines its day-to-day landscape.
