Pompton Lakes, Passaic County
What we see in Pompton Lakes
Pompton Lakes is a borough of about 3.2 square miles, much of it in a valley where the Ramapo, Pequannock, and Wanaque rivers meet. It borders Bloomingdale, Wanaque, and Wayne in Passaic County, Oakland in Bergen County, and Riverdale and Pequannock in Morris County. Interstate 287 and the Paterson-Hamburg Turnpike run through town. About 11,100 people live in roughly 4,300 housing units around the downtown, Federal Hill, Pompton Lake, and Lake Inez.
Selling a house in Pompton Lakes: what's different here
Three rivers, frequent floods
Much of Pompton Lakes is prone to flooding, most recently during Hurricane Irene in 2011, and the Ramapo, Pequannock, and Wanaque are among the Passaic basin rivers considered prone to continual flooding. Flood history and insurance costs scare off many retail buyers. We buy homes in the flood-prone parts of town as-is.
The DuPont plant legacy
DuPont's Pompton Lakes Works operated here from 1905 until 1994. A 2018 series in The Record reported that ground and water pollution from the former munitions plant affected hundreds of nearby homes. Buyers and lenders often ask about that history. We buy homes near the former plant for cash, without financing contingencies.
Passaic County's first borough
Pompton Lakes became Passaic County's first borough in 1895. An ironworks on the Ramapo River, at the site of today's Pompton Lake dam, made munitions for several wars. When a long-held house passes to heirs, the clean-out and repairs can take months. We buy inherited houses with the contents left inside.

Questions from Pompton Lakes sellers
Pompton Lakes FAQ
Will you buy a Pompton Lakes house near the old DuPont plant?
Yes. We review the property's history ourselves and make a cash offer, so you are not waiting on a buyer's lender to get comfortable.
My Pompton Lakes house flooded during Irene. Do I have to repair it before selling?
No. We buy flood-affected houses as they are and close for cash on your schedule.
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 Pompton Lakes 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 Passaic County. We are BBB accredited with an A+ rating, listed under our affiliate Gembrook Properties.
