Rutherford, NJ and surrounding towns

Get to Know Rutherford

One of the great commuter towns in southern Bergen County, Rutherford's charm is evident everywhere you look.  Named the Borough of Trees, Rutherford's downtown landscape changes from Cherry Blossoms that welcome Spring to the changing leaves of the mighty Oaks in the Fall! A vibrant "downtown" that runs the length of Park Avenue from Lincoln Park (across from the Post Office) to the train station, you'll find many local shops and restaurants and the new luxury rental community, The Parker.  Not to be missed is the Farmer's Market at Williams Center Plaza, located just steps away from Williams Center, a performing arts and cinema complex.  There are lots of dining options, my favorites are Sonoma Bistro, Matisse and Paisano's! Rutherford homes range from convenient condos and townhomes to grand 1800s architecture of Victorians and Tudors  and everything in between!  Train services to New York, via the Secaucus transfer station, solidifies Rutherford's commuter charm!
