Tenafly is a borough in eastern Bergen County set along the western slope of the Palisades. It borders Alpine, Cresskill, Bergenfield, Englewood, and Englewood Cliffs, placing it close to the Hudson River communities and the George Washington Bridge. County roads and nearby Route 9W connect the borough with Fort Lee, northern Bergen County, and New York State. Tenafly is primarily residential, with tree-lined neighborhoods, schools, parks, houses of worship, and a compact downtown centered near the historic railroad station. The Tenafly Nature Center preserves wooded trails and wetlands near the borough's eastern side, while other parks support local recreation. Older homes, estate properties, and later suburban development contribute to the community's varied architecture. Tenafly's elevated terrain, strong local center, and proximity to Manhattan have made it one of the most established residential communities in northeastern Bergen County.
