Englewood straddles two worlds — a wealthy east side near the Palisades and a more modest west side closer to Teaneck. The 2.58% property tax rate is mid-range for Bergen County, and the wide range of home prices ($350K-$2M+) gives buyers options at every budget.

Englewood's Two Sides
East Englewood / Palisade: Luxury homes $800K-$2M+, tree-lined streets, close to Englewood Cliffs. Higher individual tax bills but premium property.
West Englewood / Near Teaneck border: More affordable $350K-$600K. Diverse community, denser housing. Better for NJHMFA-eligible buyers.

Englewood's median tax bill ($17.8K) is similar to Teaneck ($18K) despite higher home prices — because the rate is lower.
Bottom Line
Englewood offers Bergen County living across a wide price range. The east side is luxury; the west side is first-time-buyer accessible. The 2.58% rate is moderate and produces reasonable monthly costs especially on entry-level homes.
