Search Westwood homes and compare Roxbury and Crest condos, station parking, property taxes, school questions and the local steps before selling.
Bergen County, New Jersey
Look beyond the list price. Compare a house or condo with its real monthly costs, the station parking you can actually use and the records needed to sell it.
In Westwood, the home search can lead from a downtown condo to a ranch with a lower level or a house with an extra unit. The useful question is not which label sounds best. It is which property fits the rooms, upkeep, travel and monthly budget you need. Two homes near the same station can come with very different parking choices, stairs, maintenance duties and records to review.
This guide starts with current residential listings, then works through those differences. You can compare the Roxbury and Crest condo examples, check the borough’s resident and nonresident parking instructions, find the school district’s own registration information and see what Westwood asks of a seller before closing. Keep the address in view throughout. A regional school name is not an assignment, a train station on the map is not a complete commute and an advertised second unit is not proof that the use is approved.
Reviewed October 20, 2026. Listing prices are asking prices in a dated public IDX snapshot, not completed sale prices or a forecast.
Search the property, not just the town name
The search below combines the feed’s two City labels, Westwood and Westwood Boro, with Active and For Sale. It includes verified residential categories without setting an artificial luxury minimum. The eight card positions are listing records, not a promise of eight different homes: the same address can appear through more than one MLS feed.
The full residential search returned 16 readable listing records when checked October 20. Status, price and availability can change. Use the linked record for current details and keep missing fields unknown rather than treating them as zero.
The 185 Bergenline Avenue record showed $799,000, three bedrooms and two total baths. The listing’s ranch description also refers to a partly finished basement. Check the actual entrance, room placement and lower level separately; ranch does not certify an accessible entrance, a step free interior or approved finished living area.
The 246 Washington Avenue record showed $699,000, three bedrooms and three total baths. Total baths is not the same field as full baths. Review the floor plan, the permit record for changes and where those rooms sit before deciding that a headline room count solves your needs.
The NJMLS 33 Van Buren Avenue record and Garden State 33 Van Buren Ave record both showed $750,000, four bedrooms and two total baths. One card calls it Ranch and the other Residential. Compare the exact address and record details instead of counting the two cards as separate homes or merging fields across feeds.
For a multi family listing, verify the lawful number of units, leases, utility arrangements and open permits with the relevant records. A land, waterfront, pool or construction label also needs its own property evidence. This hub does not turn a tag or a short sample into a claim about a full year of supply, building rights, lake access or finished construction.
Compare the actual association and unit
The current public feed provided three distinct unit addresses to investigate: two Roxbury records at 550 Fairview Avenue and one Crest record at 24 Crest Street. These are condo listing examples, not proof that every unit has the same rules, monthly fee, parking rights or financing options.
Unit 116 showed $379,000 and Unit 302 showed $345,000. Both cards showed one bedroom and one total bath; unit 302 also displayed 700 square feet. That is a unit comparison, not a size claim for unit 116 or every home in the building.
A separately checked unit 116 listing described monthly HOA dues of $570 and advertised parking and pet information. Treat that as the listing’s account of that unit, not a current association rulebook. Request the present budget, reserve and assessment information, insurance, pet and rental rules, parking documents and any move or transfer requirements before relying on them.
Unit 2C showed $359,000, one bedroom, one total bath and 741 square feet. Compare it with the Roxbury units using the full monthly cost, the actual floor and entrance, storage, laundry and documented parking. The building name does not establish an elevator, included utilities or a right to rent the unit.
Have the attorney and lender review the exact association package and financing fit. A listing’s property type and attractive asking price do not establish the legal ownership documents, building insurance or the buyer’s loan eligibility.
Roxbury unit 116 secondary source: public listing details, checked October 20, 2026. Confirm current association documents; the public listing is not an independent audit.
Separate the trip from the map pin
Westwood is on NJ Transit’s Pascack Valley Line. Check the actual departure, connection and final destination for your travel day. A convenient station address does not promise a direct train, a particular Manhattan arrival time or a parking space.
The borough’s current resident parking page lists a $10 calendar year permit and designated resident areas from 6 a.m. to 4 p.m., on a first come basis. It identifies 11 dedicated resident overflow spaces with no daily charge. A permit is not a reserved space.
Other Borough Hall spaces are described on that page at $4 daily through ParkMobile, with a stated increase to $6 daily starting January 1, 2027. Do not apply that free overflow rule or the current $4 resident page figure to every commuter space.
The live nonresident parking page describes 90 Borough Hall lot spaces at Washington Avenue and Fourth Avenue, from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m., first come. It currently states $6 daily through ParkMobile plus a $25 calendar year nonresident permit. It says permits purchased after January 1, 2027 will be $30.
The page also states no overnight parking anywhere in the borough. Check the current posted restrictions and operator instructions for the exact space and day; a daily fee is not overnight permission or guaranteed availability.
The NJ Transit station summary has different older or lot specific figures, including a $5 resident annual figure and nonresident restrictions for its listed lots. Do not blend that table with the borough’s newer resident and nonresident instructions. Start with the actual operator page, then verify the full route from the home, the space you intend to use and the service for your day.
Put the property bill beside the asking price
The Westwood Tax Collector lists the 2026 rate as $2.088 for each $100 of assessed valuation. Assessed value is not automatically the purchase price. A purely hypothetical $600,000 assessment at that rate computes to $12,528 a year; it is not a tax quote for a home in this guide.
For separate historical context, NJ DCA’s 2025 municipal table lists Westwood’s average residential assessment at $562,575 and average residential tax bill at $12,160. Those are municipal averages for a different year, not today’s parcel bill or a guarantee about a new buyer. Ask for the property’s current assessment, bill, any reassessment or exemption changes, and an insurance quote before settling the budget.
The borough’s flooding guidance names the Pascack and Musquapsink Brooks and says flooding can also happen elsewhere in town and continue after the rain ends. Ask about prior water, drainage work, sump pumps, repairs and insurance history, then review the actual address and access routes. Obtain the seller’s required disclosures, a current map review and an insurance quote. The NJ Flood Indicator Tool is a screening tool, not a calculation of actual risk or a permit decision. An absence of map indicators does not mean a home is free from flood risk.
Confirm the records for additions, finished space, heating, electrical work and other changes. Westwood’s current sale packet requires all utilities on and operable and says the CCO inspection will not be scheduled with any open permits. Resolve that before building a closing plan around the house being ready.
Compare taxes, insurance, utilities, repairs and association charges on the actual unit or house. An asking price is not the full monthly cost, and a condo fee can leave important work or insurance with the owner. Do not assume a low price has already accounted for an assessment or a system replacement.

Use the district, not a portal’s nearest school label
The Westwood Regional School District serves the Borough of Westwood and the Township of Washington. Its network includes four elementary schools, Westwood Regional Middle School and Westwood Regional High School. A shared postal area or a real estate website’s nearby school tag is not a confirmation of which school serves an address.
For local campus reference points, Berkeley Elementary School lists 47 Berkeley Avenue and Brookside Elementary School lists 20 Lake Drive. Confirm the student’s grade, actual address, eligibility, placement and intended school year directly with the district. This guide does not assign a home to an elementary school or promise admission.
The district’s registration instructions separate online preregistration from the required supporting forms and documents. Completing an online step does not itself finish enrollment. Use the district’s current checklist and registrar for the actual household, and review NJ Department of Education school reports for official reporting rather than treating a portal rating as a property benefit.
Price the home and prepare the file
Start the pricing discussion with completed sales that match the property, then weigh condition, improvements, location, timing and competing listings. The asking prices above show choices buyers can compare now; they do not establish what your home will sell for. A clear approval file can be just as important as presentation when you need a workable closing.
The currently linked Zoning Certificate of Compliance and Smoke Alarm/Carbon Monoxide application, marked JZ 3/26, covers a home sale or new rental tenant. It describes a physical safety inspection and a block and lot file review. Do not substitute a generic construction certificate or automatically add a second fire inspection fee to this combined packet.
The packet asks $100 when the closing or rental move in is more than two weeks from submission and $150 when it is less than two weeks. It lists $50 for reinspection and requires payment before processing or scheduling. Exactly two weeks is not assigned a tier in that wording: ask the department rather than guessing. These fees do not guarantee inspection or closing speed.
The packet says no CCO inspection will be scheduled with any open permits and no certificate will be issued while building permits remain open. It also calls for prompt review of questionable two family or multiple family zoning status. An advertised extra apartment or finished room is not the approval file.
Its checklist includes operational utilities, property specific smoke alarm requirements and sump discharge restrictions. Do not replace a required hardwired alarm with a battery only unit. Let the office and qualified professionals resolve the exact building’s requirements, including which permit finals or certifications are needed.
The packet requests lead safe or lead free documentation for rental changes and later lists exemptions, including dwellings built during or after 1978 and other defined cases. That is not a new blanket lead certificate requirement for every owner occupied sale. A condo can also have a separate association resale or move process; the borough application does not settle its documents or lender review.
GT can help you compare a market listing with a possible cash offer. Compare actual net terms, costs, repairs, contingencies and the proposed closing date. A cash or as is agreement does not automatically remove Westwood’s local approval steps, open permits, disclosures or any applicable association review. No offer, fee saving or closing timeline is guaranteed here.
Tell us the address and what you need to decide. This is a request for a conversation, not a booked appointment, a final appraisal or separate permission for marketing texts. Do not send financial or identity documents through a general inquiry.
No. Confirm the actual municipality and property address, then ask Westwood Regional about the student’s eligibility, grade and school year. A nearby school tag or postcode is not an assignment.
The checked Active records were Roxbury units 116 and 302 at 550 Fairview Avenue and Crest unit 2C at 24 Crest Street. Their prices, fees, space and rights remain unit specific, and the snapshot is not a promise of future availability or a complete annual supply study.
The live nonresident borough page currently states $6 daily plus its permit, while the resident page has a separate $4 daily instruction for certain Borough Hall spaces. Use the actual operator and lot instructions rather than a cached search result or an older NJ Transit rate table.
Not as a property quote. The borough states $2.088 per $100 of assessed valuation, so obtain the actual assessment and bill and check for changes before using the figure in your budget.
The combined JZ 3/26 packet says $100 for a closing more than two weeks from submission, $150 for less than two weeks and $50 for reinspection. It requires payment before processing or scheduling and does not clearly assign exactly two weeks, so confirm that boundary with the office. A fee tier does not guarantee a closing date.
A cash contract does not erase the borough’s requirements. The current packet says CCO inspections will not be scheduled with any open permits and certificates will not be issued with open building permits, so resolve the actual file with the department and attorney.
No. The district separates the online preregistration step from required forms and supporting documentation. Confirm that the household’s current application is complete with the registrar.
No such claim is made. The search can show one address through different feeds, as the two 33 Van Buren records illustrate, so compare actual addresses and record details before counting homes or combining facts.
Use the Bergen County property search for the wider comparison or compare the different house and parcel questions in our Franklin Lakes guide. Compare the station, home and ownership questions in our Park Ridge guide and Waldwick guide as well.
If you are comparing towns, keep the same budget, room requirements, property checks and full travel test for each address. That gives you a clearer decision than treating every listing carrying a familiar town name as the same kind of home.
