ponds. This hamlet of homes is contained within 6.7 square miles
(4288 acres) and provides the attractiveness of a semi-rural
setting while only 25 miles from one of the greatest cities in the
world...New York.
A strong sense of community is Wyckoff's hallmark. Wyckoff's
many attributes including it's charm, tranquility, beauty and
sense of history combine to make it "the town where you know your
neighbors." This tradition of warmth that has characterized the
community for many years still serves as the Township's unofficial
motto. |

bakery, a produce shop, or clothing and hardware stores. Turn the

homes, many believe the real estate term "curb appeal" could have
been coined with Wyckoff in mind. Wyckoff was declared as one of a
few "hot towns" in New Jersey for real estate sales by New Jersey
Monthly magazine.

Wyckoff's Public Schools are among the best in Bergen County.
There are four elementary schools servicing kindergarten through
grade five. Enrollment in these schools ranges from 295 to 400
students, with an average class size of approximately 22. The
middle school houses grades six, seven and eight and has an
enrollment of approximately 650 students. The average class size
is about 24. All five schools share an educational philosophy
based on the belief that the school exists for the benefit of each
student regardless of his or her capacity for learning, that each
student has a unique set of needs which must be met, and that it
is the purpose of the schools to help each student reach his or
her potential intellectually, socially and emotionally. After
elementary school students then move on to Ramapo High School, a
regional school shared with Franklin Lakes. |
