Tenafly sits between Englewood and the Palisades, with a small downtown around the old railroad station, the Tenafly Nature Center and the Lost Brook Preserve on its east side. Housing is mostly single-family: center-hall colonials and split-levels from the 1950s and 60s on the west side, larger lots and newer construction up the hill toward the cliffs. It is the highest-volume of the higher-priced towns on this list.
