Located along the Hackensack River in Bergen County, Teaneck is a terrific town with tree-lined streets, river views, and a major university. Fairleigh Dickinson University is the state's largest private university, established in 1942. Teaneck, settled by the Dutch around 1700, features several historic locations. One of those, the Banta-Coe House on the university campus, is one of New Jersey's oldest colonial homes, built around 1700. Other homes built in the 1700s include the Brinkerhoff-Demarest House (1735) and the Caspar Westervelt House (1763). New Bridge Landing, on the Hackensack River, is where General George Washington and his troops were forced to retreat from British forces. The current bridge, built in 1888, is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
In addition to its rich history, Teaneck contains 23 parks, Overpeck Golf Course, and several shopping areas. Stroll the wide sidewalks and do some window-shopping along Queen Anne Road, discover the corner grocery stores and pizza joints along Teaneck Road, or head across the river to the Shops at Riverside shopping mall. Teaneck is ideal for commuters -- Manhattan is less than 10 miles away, Jersey City is about 15 miles south, and Newark is roughly 18 miles southwest. Nearby attractions include Meadowlands Sports Complex, Yankee Stadium, Central Park, and the Bronx Zoo.
