Alpine, Bergen County
What we see in Alpine
Alpine is a borough of about 1,750 people at the northeastern corner of New Jersey, running along the top of the Palisades above the Hudson River. It borders Closter, Cresskill, Demarest, Norwood, Rockleigh, and Tenafly, with Yonkers and the Bronx across the river and Rockland County to the north. Route 9W and the Palisades Interstate Parkway run through town, and Palisades Interstate Park lines the whole riverfront. Homes are single-family houses on large lots; Forbes once ranked Alpine's ZIP code the most expensive in the country.
Selling a house in Alpine: what's different here
Large-lot zoning
Alpine's zoning ordinance allows one-family detached homes in its residence districts, with minimum lots of two acres in the R-A and R-R zones and an acre and a half in R-AA. Large lots bring large carrying costs: the average 2018 property tax bill was about $21,300, the highest in Bergen County. When an estate is holding an empty house, we can close on the heirs' schedule.
Rio Vista subdivision
Rio Vista, in the southern part of the borough, was once an estate and was subdivided into 197 home sites in the mid-1980s. Its stone Devil's Tower was built for sugar baron Manuel Rionda. Houses built in that era can now need roofs, mechanicals, and interiors updated to compete at Alpine prices. We buy them without asking the owner to renovate first.
No train, no NJ Transit
NJ Transit runs no bus or train service in Alpine; Rockland Coaches buses along Route 9W are the transit option. That narrows the buyer pool to people who plan to drive, and high-end listings can sit while taxes and upkeep continue. A direct cash sale to us skips showings, open houses, and waiting on a buyer's financing.

Questions from Alpine sellers
Alpine FAQ
Do you buy higher-priced homes in Alpine?
Yes. We look at Alpine houses the same way we look at any other: by condition, land, and recent sales. If our numbers work, we make a cash offer with no repair requests.
Can you buy an Alpine house that needs a full renovation?
Yes. Dated estates and houses with deferred maintenance are the kind of property we buy as-is, and we cover the closing costs.
Do all the heirs have to agree before an inherited house can be sold?
In New Jersey, an inherited house is sold through the estate, so the executor or court-appointed administrator signs the sale. We talk with each heir separately and privately, so no one has to negotiate as a group, and we'll walk you through getting an administrator appointed if that hasn't happened yet.
How fast can you close on a Alpine house?
Thirty days is typical, and clean files can move faster. If you need more time, we'll write the date you want into the contract.
Are you a local company?
Yes. We're a New Jersey company based in Toms River, and we buy in all 21 counties, including Bergen County. We are BBB accredited with an A+ rating, listed under our affiliate Gembrook Properties.
