Housing, market & neighborhood guide
Wood-Ridge Real Estate
Wood-Ridge offers a mix of established single-family neighborhoods, smaller multifamily properties and substantial newer rental/condominium-style development around Wesmont Station.
Its two rail stations are a major housing consideration, while Route 17 access keeps the borough tied closely to the Meadowlands and the wider North Jersey job market.

2026 market snapshot
Realtor.com market data for August 2026 reported 23 homes for sale and 24 rentals in Wood-Ridge.
Market snapshot, not an appraisal: listing prices and rents are asking-market measures and can move quickly. A specific home's value depends on condition, lot, location, improvements, taxes and current comparable sales.
Housing character
Much of Wood-Ridge consists of mature single-family neighborhoods with smaller multifamily buildings woven into the borough grid.
Mixed-use and smaller apartment/condominium buildings add housing variety near services and the traditional center of town.
Newer multi-family development created a different housing pattern around Rosie Square, Johnson Drive, Avalon Drive and the rail station.
Wesmont housing & transit-oriented development
The borough's adopted 2025 Housing Element describes Wood-Ridge as essentially fully developed and identifies the former Curtiss-Wright property as the major redevelopment opportunity that became Wesmont.
The plan records 151 constructed and occupied affordable units within one-half mile of Wesmont Station: 47 at the Avalon Bay complex, 100 Rosie Square, and 104 at The Willows at Wesmont Station / Ingerman, 100 Johnson Drive.
Wesmont Station serves the Main-Bergen County Line and is adjacent to residential and commercial development. This gives buyers and renters an alternative to driving for some regional commutes.
Property taxes & budgeting
2.990 per $100 of assessed value, according to New Jersey's published municipal tax-rate table.
2.019%, a state statistical measure useful for broad comparison but not the number to use to calculate an individual tax bill.
Important: verify the current assessed value, municipal tax rate, exemptions and actual tax bill with official tax records before making a purchase decision.
Schools & commuting context
Three local district campuses serve the borough: Catherine E. Doyle Elementary, Wood-Ridge Intermediate and Wood-Ridge Jr./Sr. High School.

Station DetailsBefore buying, selling or remodeling
Check zoning, construction permits, certificates, inspections and property-specific requirements with Wood-Ridge before committing to work or a closing timeline.
For any property, inspect drainage conditions, flood-zone information, insurance needs and prior water issues rather than relying on general townwide assumptions.
Condominium, townhouse, rental and newer redevelopment properties may have association rules, fees, parking terms or leasing restrictions that differ from traditional single-family homes.
