Fort Lee sits atop the Palisades cliffs overlooking the Hudson River, just minutes from Manhattan via the George Washington Bridge. The borough combines residential high-rises with established neighborhoods, while its downtown area along Main Street serves as a community hub. The area is particularly known for its Korean dining scene along Main Street, where restaurants and specialty shops contribute to the local culture. Current rental trends show average apartment rates of $3,121, though the market has seen a slight decline of -3.7% over the past year, with one-bedroom units averaging $3,083 and two-bedrooms at $3,774.
The Barrymore Film Center celebrates Fort Lee's history as an early filmmaking hub through screenings and exhibits. Outdoor enthusiasts appreciate Constitution Park and Fort Lee Historic Park, which provides views of the Hudson River and Manhattan skyline.
