River Vale

River Vale is a small township located along the northern border of Bergen County. It is also part of the New Jersey/New York borderline. Its population density is low with only 9452 residents living in its 4.08 square miles. Bordering the township are the boroughs of Old Tappan, Hillsdale, Park Ridge, Westwood, Harrington Park, Woodcliff Lake, Montvale and Emerson. Clarkstown, NY is the nearest city of over 50,000, and lies about eight miles north-northwest of River Vale, while New York City is twenty-two miles to the southeast. Only about 14% of residents were born in another country, and this group largely consists of Europeans, Asians, and Latin Americans. Native born citizens are mainly of Italian, Irish, German, Polish, Russian, and American descent. Nearly half of River Vale's citizens have earned a four-year or higher degree, and almost 68% are married. A mere 4.1% have been divorced.

River Vale was voted as one of the safest municipalities in New Jersey, according to the National Council for Home Safety and Security. River Vale was ranked in first place for the study. The rankings were based on violent crime per 1000 people. Main roads take residents to jobs outside of the community and a daily bus service provides transportation all the way to Manhattan. Railway service is also located in adjacent boroughs for convenience. The main career opportunities in River Vale include professional and technical services, jobs in finance and insurance and construction.
