Homes for Sale in Bloomingdale, NJ

Why buyers and sellers choose Bloomingdale.

Bloomingdale is a 9-square-mile Passaic County borough of roughly 7,800 residents, and one of the most accessible entry points to the Pequannock Highlands lifestyle for buyers who want mountain-and-lake character without a Kinnelon price tag. The borough sits directly across the Pequannock River from Butler and shares much of its character: small-town feel, multi-generational families, and a housing stock that runs from mid-century starters to lakefront contemporaries. What sets Bloomingdale apart is its proximity to substantial protected land, Norvin Green State Forest sits at the borough's northern edge with 5,400+ acres of trails, waterfalls, and overlook views that residents treat as their backyard.

Our Butler/Kinnelon office sits less than 10 minutes from anywhere in Bloomingdale, and we treat this as one of our core markets. The Federal Hill section, the Glenwild Avenue corridor, and the lake-area neighborhoods around Roe Park each pull a different buyer profile, and we work all of them.

Bloomingdale NJ homes for sale

Bloomingdale's single-family housing stock breaks down into three broad tiers. Entry-level Bloomingdale NJ homes ($350K to $500K) include starter capes, older split-levels, and modest ranches across the lake-area and Pequannock River neighborhoods, popular with first-time buyers and downsizers priced out of Butler and Kinnelon. Mid-market Bloomingdale homes ($500K to $650K) are the volume anchor, well-maintained Colonials, expanded Capes, and mid-century splits across the downtown and hillier sections. Higher-end Bloomingdale homes ($650K to $850K+) include larger Federal Hill properties with Highlands views, updated lakefront homes, and select newer construction. A local Bloomingdale realtor who works this borough alongside Butler and Kinnelon can price the different neighborhoods (Federal Hill, Glenwild, lake-area) accurately, since they trade on genuinely different dynamics.

Bloomingdale NJ condos and townhomes

Bloomingdale's condo and townhouse segment is a limited slice of the borough's market. Per September 2026 New Jersey REALTORS data, only 5 townhouse-condo sales have closed year to date (a $450,000 median at 104.5% of list), none closed in September, and there was just 1 active listing at month end, indicating scarcity value when product does hit the market. The typical Bloomingdale condo buyer is a downsizer moving from a Federal Hill or lake-area single-family home or a first-time buyer who wants Passaic County pricing without house-scale maintenance. Because inventory is thin, most serious condo searches here pair with willingness to consider Butler, Kinnelon, or Wanaque townhouse product.

Bloomingdale neighborhoods & housing stock

Bloomingdale's housing is mostly single-family homes built between the 1920s and 1980s, with newer construction in some pockets. The styles are eclectic, capes, split-levels, colonials, ranches, and a meaningful inventory of lakefront and lake-area homes near the Pequannock River and surrounding water. The Federal Hill neighborhood is the borough's historic high ground, with older character homes and elevation that puts views of the Highlands at a premium. The downtown area along Hamburg Turnpike and Main Street is mixed-use with older homes, some small commercial, and walkable access to local restaurants and shops. The lake-adjacent and Pequannock River-area neighborhoods offer more affordable entries with water access or river views.

Schools, Walter T. Bergen + Butler High School

Bloomingdale operates the Walter T. Bergen School (K-8) for its own students through grade 8. For high school, Bloomingdale students attend Butler High School in neighboring Butler through a longstanding sending-receiving relationship. This is one of the most practical reasons buyers consider Butler and Bloomingdale as a single market, the kids end up at the same high school regardless. The shared HS keeps the two boroughs tightly connected socially and athletically.

Commute & access

Bloomingdale sits along Route 23 with quick access to I-287 (about 10 minutes south) and onward to I-80. The Wayne Route 23 Transit Center is roughly 15 minutes away with NJ Transit Boonton Line service to Hoboken and PATH connections to Manhattan. Drive time to Midtown averages 60–80 minutes depending on traffic. The borough's location works particularly well for buyers commuting to Morris County, Bergen County, or hybrid office schedules in the Route 23 corridor.

Bloomingdale home prices, September 2026

Per September 2026 New Jersey REALTORS data, Bloomingdale closed 9 single-family sales in September 2026, versus 10 in September 2025, and the monthly median sale price landed at $550,000, up 3.8% YoY. With fewer than 10 sales, the year-to-date median is the steadier read: $570,000, up 1.8% across 57 closings, so pricing is holding steady rather than surging. Homes averaged 25 days on market and sold at 107.2% of list price. Active inventory is at just 11 listings, a 1.6-month supply. That combination, steady volume, stable pricing, over-ask closings, and very thin inventory, is a strong seller's market, with homes going under contract about as fast as last fall.
