However, there is also a variety of choices, from garden apartments to luxury dwellings, many with breath-taking views. Fort Lee was home to many early motion picture companies.

Alpine

Marked by expensive houses set on large tracts, Alpine attracts many successful professionals. But Alpine's homes are suited for both the wealthy and the middleclass, and education is quite valued and advanced here.

Despite its proximity to New York City, its mountaintop setting gives it the atmosphere of a small hamlet and the community has a very intimate quality. Alpine maintains tight control over development and industry has been restricted so that much of the borough's land is in parks and conservation areas.
