Englewood Real Estate & Housing
Englewood has a broad housing market for Bergen County: traditional single-family neighborhoods, larger East Hill homes, condominiums and co-ops, multifamily properties, apartments and newer downtown/mixed-use housing.
Buyers, sellers and renters should pay close attention to property taxes, zoning, the City's Certificate of Continued Occupancy rules, rental occupancy inspections, flood and stormwater conditions, building permits and downtown parking/transportation.
Market guide, not live inventory: NJTGO does not publish temporary active homes or asking prices as permanent town-guide content. Availability and prices change continuously.
2026 Englewood housing market
Redfin reported prices up 15.2% year over year over the three months ending July 2026. Englewood is a mixed housing market, so citywide figures can shift based on the mix of condos, apartments, multifamily properties and larger single-family sales.
Housing character
Traditional colonials, capes, ranches, split-levels and larger custom homes span multiple neighborhoods.
Englewood's eastern residential areas include many larger lots and substantial homes, often at higher price points than the citywide median.
Attached housing and elevator buildings provide ownership options closer to downtown and major roads.
Englewood has a significant rental market, with multifamily, garden, elevator and newer mixed-use apartment options.
Apartment and mixed-use development around the downtown offers walkability to restaurants, shopping and transit.
Two-family and other multifamily housing creates owner-occupant and investment opportunities in parts of the city.
Property taxes & assessments
The City Tax Assessor discovers and lists all real property, maintains the annual tax list, values new construction and administers assessment changes and tax appeals. Parcel records can be searched through Bergen County tax resources.
Tax AssessorAssessment information, property records and appeal guidance.
Tax CollectorUse the City departments directory for current tax billing and collection resources.
Buyer tip: verify the current assessment and actual tax bill for the exact block, lot and unit rather than estimating from asking price or a neighboring property.
Zoning, planning & affordable housing
Englewood's 2024 Master Plan and subsequent amendments guide land use, downtown development, housing and circulation. The City also maintains affordable-housing overlay zones and Fourth Round housing documents that continued to evolve through 2026.
Reviews master-plan matters, subdivisions, site plans and certain variance/development applications.
Residential, multifamily, downtown, light-industrial, service-business and other zones apply across the city.
Current City documents include a corrected Fourth Round Housing Element and a 2026 settlement map.
Sale CCO, permits & occupancy
Englewood requires a Certificate of Continued Occupancy before a residential property is sold. Code Enforcement inspects for applicable health, safety and property-maintenance requirements, including smoke and carbon-monoxide protection, fire extinguisher placement and illegal work or occupancy.
Apply for the residential resale CCO early and resolve unpermitted work or violations before closing.
The City requires inspection of an individual residential rental unit before occupancy and issues a Certificate of Rental Occupancy.
Construction, zoning, commercial CCO, rental occupancy, landlord registration and lead-inspection forms are available through the City's permit portal/resources.
Flood, stormwater & drainage due diligence
Englewood's streams, Flat Rock Brook watershed and low-lying areas make stormwater and flood review important for some parcels. The City maintains stormwater plans, infrastructure maps, flood presentations and project-scoping documents.
Review current FEMA/NJDEP mapping and City stormwater information rather than relying on neighborhood assumptions.
Investigate basement water, drainage work, sewer backups, sump pumps and prior claims where relevant.
Additions, grading and redevelopment can require engineering and stormwater review depending on scope and location.
Obtain property-specific homeowners and flood quotes before closing where flood risk is possible.
