Fall in love with the rural suburb vibes and irresistibly friendly community
 
The borough of Ramsey is a suburban haven nestled among vibrant expanses of green space just north of Allendale. Family-friendly at its core, Ramsey’s location makes it a prime area for commuters, and the community is also classified as a suburb of New York due to its close proximity to Manhattan—just 26 miles. Residents here have easy access to US-17 and I-287, and yet the neighborhoods maintain a sense of pastoral charm. 
 
Ramsey’s history is a sweet one, and this small borough established in 1908 has its origins in the strawberry business. From its early beginning as a strawberry-producing, basket-weaving center to its modern-day status as a delightful suburb away from city living, Ramsey’s honeyed personality has remained. 
 
As with many of New Jersey’s quaint northern boroughs, Ramsey’s residential offerings are diverse in architectural styles due largely to the area’s long-standing history, and you’ll find an eclectic mix of single-family homesteads here, surrounded by trees. Ramsey has everything from million-dollar new-builds with modern amenities to stylish colonials and Tudor homes radiating fairytale charisma.

A Ramsey staple and one of the most beloved eateries in the area, CARS is best known for dishing out creative, mouthwatering delights at a fast-casual, late-night diner.

Things to Do

Those who live in Ramsey are deeply invested in the community. The love shown towards the borough’s upkeep has resulted in an array of pristine parks and recreational cities, as well as a ton of celebrations and events for its residents. Finch Park, for instance, serves the area’s children well with its large playground and several sports fields. Noted as the best public pool in the county, Ramsey Municipal Pool is filled with the sounds of laughter and enjoyment during the summer months. 
 
It’s not surprising that a town with such a deep agricultural history would hold a wonderful weekly farmers market. Home to over fifty vendors indoors and outdoors, the market supplies residents with some of the state’s best produce and homemade goods. Another community-building event, The
Annual Home for the Holidays Parade is an honored tradition in Ramsey, with live music, food trucks, and of course, a parade.
 
One of Ramsey’s largest recreational appeals is the presence of The Ramsey Golf and Country Club, whose historic, stone castle clubhouse and lush 18-hole golf course are only the tip of the iceberg for members. The facility is perfect for hosting events and has a gorgeous restaurant with catering options.
