410 Park, 5B Fort Lee, NJ 07024

Fort Lee lies at the eastern border of Bergen County directly across the George Washington Bridge from Upper Manhattan—Washington Heights is reachable within minutes. It’s a mix of urban and suburban, filled with houses, townhouses, and high-rise apartment towers called home by the borough’s roughly 35,000 residents. Once a defensive fortification during the Revolutionary War, it’s named for General Charles Lee, who commanded the continental Army through battles across New York and New Jersey at occasional odds with America’s first commander-in-chief. Long before Hollywood, Fort Lee was the cradle of America’s then-fledgling motion picture industry, attracting pioneering studios like Fox and Goldwyn with the promise of expansive real estate and scenic surroundings. Today, it’s an exciting, convenient place to live that happens to be next-door neighbors with the greatest city in the world.
