Maywood Real Estate & Housing
Maywood's housing market is best understood through its neighborhood character, transportation access, municipal requirements and property-specific due diligence—not through temporary individual listings.
Market guide, not live inventory: NJTGO does not publish temporary active home listings or asking prices as permanent town-guide content.
Housing market context
Maywood is a compact, largely built-out Bergen County borough with established single-family neighborhoods plus multifamily and apartment options. Market prices and inventory change quickly, so current transaction decisions should use live professional and public-record sources rather than a permanent snapshot.
Housing character
Two-family and apartment housing add variety near commercial and transportation corridors.
Hackensack, Route 17, Route 4, I-80 and the Parkway make location a major part of Maywood's housing appeal.
Verify zoning, permits, legal use, tax records and any required municipal certificates before closing or construction.
Property taxes & municipal records
Verify the current assessment, tax account and any added or omitted assessments with the municipal tax offices.
Construction, additions and renovations can affect both assessment and municipal records.
Buyers and attorneys should confirm taxes, water/sewer charges where applicable, permits, violations and municipal certificates before settlement.
Resale/continued-occupancy procedures differ by municipality and property type; confirm the current process with the local building/fire-prevention offices.
Zoning, permits & improvements
Before additions, decks, pools, sheds, driveway changes, major interior work or changes of use, confirm current zoning and construction requirements. Setbacks, lot coverage, parking and legal-unit status can materially affect renovation plans.
Flood, drainage & stormwater
Maywood is not uniformly flood-prone, but stormwater and drainage conditions can vary by block and parcel. Review current FEMA/NJDEP mapping, grading, prior water history and municipal drainage conditions for the specific property.
Schools & commuting
PreK/K–3 elementary program at 764 Grant Avenue.
Grades 4–8 at 452 Maywood Avenue.
Maywood students now attend Becton Regional for grades 9–12 under the current sending/receiving relationship; the transition from Hackensack was completed after 2023–24.
Maywood relies primarily on NJ Transit bus service for commuting toward Hackensack, Paramus and New York.
