Back

Ramsey is a borough in Bergen County, New Jersey, located about 26 miles northwest of Midtown Manhattan. A well-established suburb of New York City, it pairs a walkable, traditional downtown with convenient commuter rail service and a highly regarded school system. The borough's history reaches back to the early 19th century, a period represented today by the Old Stone House, a historic landmark that serves as a library and museum. Over the 20th century, Ramsey grew into a classic northern New Jersey commuter suburb, with Route 17 developing into a major commercial corridor along its edge and NJ Transit rail service connecting residents to Hoboken, Secaucus Junction, and New York City. Main Street is the community's center, lined with restaurants, shops, and everyday services and host to seasonal events. The Ramsey Golf & Country Club adds a distinctive residential dimension, its neighborhoods of more than 550 homes spread across 200 landscaped acres. Elsewhere, the borough's housing ranges from classic colonials and expanded capes to townhomes and newer construction. Education is a cornerstone of the community. The Ramsey Public School District educates roughly 2,900 students through two primary schools, an upper elementary school, a middle school, and Ramsey High School, and it also serves neighboring Saddle River students in grades 6–12 through a send-receive relationship. For commuters, two NJ Transit stations—Ramsey and Ramsey Route 17—provide service on the Main and Bergen County Lines, with Metro-North's Port Jervis Line also running through the borough. That rail access, combined with Route 17 and the region's highway network, makes Ramsey a practical and enduringly popular base for families and professionals working in New York and throughout Bergen County.
