in Haworth.

Haworth is one of Bergen's smaller boroughs by 2020 Census count. The Haworth Public School handles K-8 enrollment of approximately 513 students; grades 9-12 cross-district to the Northern Valley Regional HS at Demarest. Because Haworth's residential denominator is small, Zillow/Redfin rent indices are often suppressed at the Borough level — county-aggregate proxies are preferred for asking-rent baselines. Borough Code Chapter 30 administers Affordable Housing and Affirmative Marketing only; no rent-leveling chapter exists. Apartment rent is therefore governed only by statewide rules: the 46:8-21.2 deposit ceiling, Anti-Eviction protections at 2A:18-61.1, and FCHA sequencing rules under 46:8-52 et seq. Mt Laurel Round 4 commitment was set by Borough resolution under P.L. 2024 c.2. Haworth falls under the visual lead-paint inspection tier per DCA's 2025-26 list, on the 3-year cycle from P.L. 2024 c.74 (N.J.A.C. 5:28A). The 2024 general tax rate was 3.092 per $100 assessed. NJ Transit bus connections from Haworth feed the Cresskill-Demarest route to the George Washington Bridge for an average 58-minute Manhattan commute.

Mount Laurel 4th Round (2025–2035)

Bergen County is in DCA Region 1 (regional prospective need = 27,743 units across the region). Obligations binding 7/1/2025–6/30/2035 per P.L.2024 c.2.

• Per binding resolution. Code Ch. 30 is Affordable Housing and Affirmative Marketing only.
• Per-town RDP not yet publicly verified; see DCA Round 4 Calculation Workbook for binding number.

Note: Haworth has a small population (3,427 per 2020 Census). Median asking rent and median ask price figures are commonly suppressed by Zillow ZHVI and Redfin Data Center due to small sample size — we display county-aggregate context rather than fabricate a per-town number.

All 70 Bergen municipalities supported. NJ compliance baked in: Section 8 acceptance, FCHA two-phase screening, $50 application fee cap, lead-safe certification tracking.

• Security deposits are capped at 1.5× monthly rent under N.J.S.A. 46:8-21.2. Your landlord must hold the deposit in an NJ FDIC-insured account and pay annual interest (§46:8-19). Return within 30 days of move-out (§46:8-21.1) or face double damages.
• Fair Chance in Housing — landlords cannot ask about criminal history on the initial application. Background checks happen only after a conditional offer (N.J.S.A. 46:8-52 et seq.).
• Section 8 — your housing-choice voucher is a protected source of income. A landlord cannot decline an applicant because they intend to pay with Section 8 (NJLAD).
• Eviction — good cause required for all evictions under the NJ Anti-Eviction Act (N.J.S.A. 2A:18-61.1). Lease expiration alone is not grounds.
