Search Hackensack NJ homes, compare condos and houses, check two train stations and review building costs, city resale rules and ownership questions.
The address, the building and the real monthly cost
Compare a house, a condominium or a cooperative. Check the building costs, the two local train stations and the city’s property requirements before choosing what fits.
Local sources and listing examples checked October 19, 2026. Listings can change. An asking price is not a sold comparison, and a feed label does not prove legal ownership or approved use.
The live search includes both native city labels, Hackensack and Hackensack City. It uses Active, For Sale and residential home types, including houses, condominiums, townhouses, cooperatives and multi family listings. Rental and commercial searches are not included. The map can show surrounding places; the saved city filters, not the map’s visible area, define this search.
This is a changing selection, not a count of unique homes or total local supply. The same address can appear through more than one MLS. Our checked results included 181 Berdan Place and 181 Berdan Pl through different feeds. Match the full address and source before treating two cards as two properties.
September 2026 asking-price snapshot
Realtor.com’s citywide summary for September 2026 reported a $348,000 median listing price and 127 active listings. These are the provider’s published figures, checked October 19, 2026. They are not today’s GT search total or an independently checked count of unique homes.
Asking prices are not sold prices. This broad snapshot does not separate houses, condominiums, cooperatives, townhouses and multifamily properties. It does not tell you what one home is worth or establish a closed-sale price trend. A change in the kinds of homes listed can also change a citywide median.
Use the snapshot as background, then compare the same kind of property. A condo with a lower asking price may have higher monthly fees or an assessment. Compare recent closed sales, condition, taxes, parking and the full monthly cost before choosing an offer.
Do not set your price from a citywide median or a neighbor’s asking price. Start with recent closed sales of similar homes, then review the listings competing with yours. For a condo or co-op, include the building, fees, assessments and buyer approval rules.
Source: Realtor.com Hackensack market summary, September 2026. This is an attributed listing snapshot, not GT’s own sales study. We have not used the page’s conflicting annual-change or days-on-market labels. Ask for a current property-specific comparison before making a price decision.
Start with how you want to own and use the property, not just a style name. A ranch describes a layout. Condominium and cooperative describe different ownership arrangements. A listing’s classification is a search aid, not a substitute for the deed, governing documents or legal review.
A townhouse search also needs its own checks. The Hackensack townhouse guide compares three listings, actual floor plans, stairs, parking rights and the division of maintenance and repair costs. A Townhouse feed label does not establish legal ownership or private outdoor rights.
Compare the rooms, stairs, basement, driveway and outdoor work with your actual routine. Check the survey, boundaries, roof, drainage and past work. A Single Family Residence label does not establish detachment, a legal second unit or the right to build an addition.
Review the monthly fee, covered utilities, reserves, insurance, special assessments, parking rights, pet rules and renovation process. Prospect Avenue listings name buildings such as Bristol House and Baridge House. Each building and unit needs its own review; they do not share one fee schedule or set of rules.
Compare Hackensack condos and building costs with unit examples, monthly fees, reserve records, parking and resale steps.
Confirm the ownership interest, financing options, maintenance charges and approval requirements with the cooperative and your attorney. Ask what taxes or utilities are included before comparing its payment with a condo. Do not send financial statements or identity records through a general GT inquiry form.
Verify the permitted use and approved number of units with the city. An extra kitchen, a finished basement, an R district label or projected rent does not prove a lawful rental unit. Review existing leases and actual operating costs with the appropriate advisers before relying on income.
Compare Hackensack multifamily homes and rental property records with approved-unit questions, leases, rent rules, operating costs and two listing examples.
These October 19, 2026 asking examples help frame questions, not set a town price range or estimate value. Measurements, costs, status and approvals need separate confirmation.
277 Prospect Avenue 7H, MLS 26039060 was advertised at $299,000 with one bedroom and one full bath. Its native snapshot showed a $698 monthly association fee but no usable interior area or property tax amount. Missing tax data is unknown, not zero.
The listing by Wendy Y. Gamez of Keller Williams City Views Realty described heat, hot water and central air in the fee, plus a deeded indoor parking space. Confirm those claims in the current budget, deed and governing documents, along with assessments and financing eligibility. Do not calculate a price per square foot from missing area.
181 Berdan Place, MLS 26039591 was advertised at $349,999 with three bedrooms and one full bath. The listing by Leonardo Tatis of Keller Williams Village Square Realty described a renovation opportunity and possible zoning uses subject to requirements.
Its description estimated about 1,200 square feet, while the structured area field was N/A. Treat the area as the listing author’s unverified estimate. Neither that description nor the Single Family Residence classification confirms conversion rights, legal unit count, permits or renovation cost. Ask the city and qualified advisers before pricing a project around a second unit.
NJ TRANSIT lists both Hackensack stations on the Pascack Valley Line. That does not mean every train stops at both, a direct ride into Manhattan is available, or a station has a parking space when you need one. Build the trip from the home’s address to your destination, including connections and the return journey.
Use the official Anderson Street station page to check the station, parking contacts and current service tools. Test the approach from the home, crossing points and evening return. Confirm any permit, residency rule and space availability with the named operator.
The official Essex Street station page is a separate starting point for the same line. Check the actual departure, transfer, station facilities and last useful return. Do not transfer one station’s parking rules or fees to the other.
For bus travel or driving, compare the specific address, route, departure time, parking and tolls. A listing’s phrase such as NYC transportation does not identify the service, establish an express stop or promise a commute time. Check your expected weekday and weekend schedule before committing.
Hackensack’s Tax Collector page publishes a 2026 general tax rate of 3.530 per $100 of assessed value. That is not 3.530 percent of the asking price and not confirmation of a particular property’s bill. Review the actual account, assessment, current bill, deductions and any separate added or omitted assessment.
For a math example only, an assumed $500,000 taxable assessment at that published rate gives $17,650 annually, or about $1,470.83 monthly before any property specific adjustments. This is not a tax quote for either listing above or a forecast of a future rate.
A listing’s fee field marked N/A is not proof of no fee. Ask for the source and billing period behind each number before comparing two homes by payment.
The city’s Building, Housing and Land Use Department separates building, zoning and related applications. Its zoning FAQ says zoning review applies to projects such as additions, decks, sheds, fences, driveways, pools and changes of use. The exact property, current ordinance and proposed scope still control.
Before buying a project, ask which permits were issued and which final inspections were completed. Review a proposed addition, extra dwelling unit, basement use or rental plan with the city rather than relying on a listing’s zoning shorthand. A 2020 master plan reexamination or a redevelopment proposal is not parcel permission or evidence that a project is complete.
For water and insurance questions, check the address in the FEMA Map Service Center, then discuss the current mapped determination, property conditions and insurance with the appropriate professionals. A river view, a city name or a search map does not establish a home’s flood status.
A higher offer and an easier move are not always the same result. Start with your address, property condition and preferred moving date. Compare a market listing with a written cash offer using the same costs and the actual contract terms.
Review completed comparable sales, competing asking prices, condition and building obligations before choosing a price. Decide which repairs, cleaning and showing arrangements make sense for your home and budget. A list price is not a promised sale price or closing date.
Ask who is buying, whether the buyer must find another buyer, what proof of funds is available, and which inspections or other conditions remain. Put repair credits, fees and the proposed closing date in writing. Cash does not automatically mean no inspections, no costs or a guaranteed closing.
Hackensack’s Building, Housing and Land Use Department lists Certificate of Continued Occupancy materials for one and two family dwellings. Confirm the certificate, inspections, application, current fee and scheduling for your property and transfer. Do not assume those house instructions cover a condo, cooperative or larger rental building.
Older city instructions are dated 2020. Do not use their fees or timing as a current quote. State form versions also change; start at the official page rather than reuse an old packet or its question numbers.
Start with each actual offer. Subtract your mortgage payoff and other liens, agreed selling fees, legal and settlement charges, applicable transfer taxes, repairs or buyer credits, unpaid building charges and moving costs. List any costs already paid separately so you do not count them twice. Compare carrying costs through each proposed closing date, along with inspection, financing and other cancellation terms. An unknown charge is not zero.
Use GT’s seller closing cost guide to prepare questions, then get an estimate for your property and proposed sale. No fixed fee percentage, tax amount, cash price or sale timeline is promised here.
A request starts a conversation. It is not a binding offer or a commitment to sell. Share the address and your goal first; do not send mortgage statements, bank details, identification or private tenant records through a general inquiry form.
Use the Hackensack Public Schools directory and enrollment office to confirm the address, grade, requirements and current assignment directly. A portal’s school label or nearby campus is not an enrollment guarantee. Keep children’s records within the district’s authorized process, not a GT inquiry form.
The city’s recreation facility directory lists places such as Foschini and Johnson Parks. Check the activity, access, current facilities and program rules that matter to you. For a specific home, test the actual route to shops, the station and other regular stops instead of relying on a broad neighborhood label.
The Census Bureau’s Hackensack city profile can provide city scale context. It is not a measure of a home’s value, building condition, school placement or suitability for a particular buyer.
Widen the home search without losing the reason you started in Hackensack. Keep the full monthly payment, ownership documents, parking and actual destination in view. These nearby searches use their own verified city labels, not a Hackensack map zoomed outward. A search card is a changing listing record, not proof of legal ownership, approved use or a unique home.
If bus travel matters, compare the exact street and route before choosing a home. Teaneck’s official public transportation directory lists 167Q along Queen Anne Road and 167T along Teaneck Road for Midtown, while routes such as 175 serve the George Washington Bridge terminal. Those are different Manhattan arrival points, not interchangeable trips.
Use NJ TRANSIT to check the particular departure, branch, walking approach, transfers and evening return. A route listed along a road does not mean every nearby address has the same stop, schedule or travel time.
NJ TRANSIT lists both New Bridge Landing, at Kinderkamack Road and Grand Street, and River Edge station, on River Edge Road, in River Edge on the Pascack Valley Line. Start with the home’s actual approach to the station and the trains that serve your trip.
The published parking arrangements differ, including nonresident restrictions at River Edge station. Confirm residency eligibility, permit availability, hours and current charges with the operator for the particular lot. A nearby station or a parking icon is not a guaranteed space, and this comparison does not promise a direct Manhattan ride.
The Fort Lee guide offers a further comparison around high rise ownership and bridge access. It is an alternative to Hackensack, not part of it or a promise of the same costs or commute. Use the broader Bergen County home search when you want more options than these town filters.
For any comparison address, use that municipality’s tax account, property requirements and official school enrollment process. Do not carry Hackensack’s tax rate, city certificate instructions or school assignment into another town. No school quality ranking, neighborhood demographic claim or price advantage is asserted here. Unfinished town guides are not presented as working pages.
If you want to compare a house’s upkeep with shared building costs, the Hasbrouck Heights home guide covers borough home choices, bus service checks and local sale paperwork. Use its own town search and borough records, not Hackensack’s tax or city certificate rules.
A citywide asking price is not a sold price for your kind of home. These NJMLS searches separate Residential listings, condominium listings and two to four family listings for matching September periods.
September 2026: 8 closed listing records; median reported sold price $597,500.
September 2025: 5 closed listing records; median reported sold price $550,000.
September 2026: 7 closed listing records; median reported sold price $275,000.
September 2025: 20 closed listing records; median reported sold price $314,950.
September 2026: 3 closed listing records; median reported sold price $680,000.
September 2025: 5 closed listing records; median reported sold price $600,000.
Townhouses need a different approach. The separate Townhouse search returned one closed listing record in each September. That is too little evidence to describe a townhouse price trend.
Use the right comparison. These are different properties sold in different years. A change in the median does not show how much the same home gained or lost in value. Several groups have very few sales. Compare the property, condition, ownership costs and terms before deciding what to offer or ask.
Residential is an MLS category, not proof of a detached or legally single family home. NJMLS permits some properties in more than one category. The condominium searches use Style: Condominium and exclude the separate Co-op, Townhouse and Garage styles. All returned records in the two to four family searches were labeled 2 Fam; that label does not establish legal unit approval. Co-ops, rentals, commercial property and private transfers are not measured here.
Source: NJMLS Matrix searches checked October 19, 2026. Town: Hackensack (0223). Status: Sold. Closed dates: September 1 through September 30 of each stated year. These are MLS listing groups, not a census of every deed transfer or GT sales. Prices are reported sold prices, without a verified adjustment for seller concessions. Information is deemed reliable but not guaranteed.
These properties were listed and sold by various Participants of the NJMLS based on information from the New Jersey Multiple Listing Service, Inc. for the period September 1, 2026 to September 30, 2026.

They are two native city labels used by the listing feeds. This guide includes both to reduce missed local listings. They do not establish two different municipalities, and repeated addresses still need deduplication.
Not automatically. A condo and a cooperative can handle charges differently. Confirm the ownership, current bill and what the fee includes rather than applying one building’s arrangement to another.
NJ TRANSIT lists Anderson Street and Essex Street on the Pascack Valley Line. Compare each station’s actual service, connections, access and parking rules for the trip you need.
A listing’s statement of potential does not establish approval. Ask the city about the parcel, permitted use, current zoning, permits and inspections before making conversion part of your purchase or financing plan.
Start with the current Building, Housing and Land Use office and any building management requirements. Confirm the certificate and inspections for your property, verify past permits and final inspections, and allow time to address items identified by the city.
Use the actual property account, taxable assessment and current bill. The city’s published 2026 general rate is applied to assessed value, not automatically to your purchase price. Added assessments and future changes need separate review.
Checked October 19, 2026: Hackensack’s Tax Collector and Building, Housing and Land Use pages; currently linked CCO checklist and dated 2020 instructions; zoning FAQ; NJ TRANSIT station pages; Hackensack Public Schools; city recreation directory; Census city profile; and the two linked native property records. Current office instructions, governing documents and property records control. Listing examples are attributed asking evidence, not appraisals, sold comparisons, legal approvals or total inventory counts.
