Hackensack

Hackensack is one of the inner suburbs of New York City where you can see the city skyline from various locations within the city limits. It is the county seat of Bergen County, New Jersey. Located in the southern half of the county, it boasts a population of 43,010, according to the 2010 United States Census. This is a small increase over the 2000 Census and a substantial increase of 15% from the 1990 Census. This growing community is located just seven miles from the George Washington Bridge and 12 miles from Midtown Manhattan. Hackensack is also the proud childhood home of astronaut Walter Schirra. Diversity is the theme of this New Jersey city with trendy high-rises, stately older properties, new apartment complexes and suburban houses. The city is made up of 4.12 square miles and is located less than two miles from Rochelle Park, Maywood, Teaneck and Ridgefield Park. In addition, it is located just 11.5 miles from Jersey City and only 14 miles from New York City. Its diversity continues with its residents where over 37% are foreign-born and includes South Asian and East Asian people. Indian Americans, Filipino Americans and Korean Americans are also members of the community.
