Clifton, NJ

Clifton occupies a strategic spot in northern New Jersey between major highways leading to New York City. Route 3 runs through downtown connecting to the Lincoln Tunnel, while I-80 forms the northern border with quick George Washington Bridge access. The city serves as a convenient cut-through for commuters using Routes 21, 46, and the nearby Garden State Parkway. Teterboro Airport sits 8 miles southeast. The Botany Village Historic District preserves 19th-century mill workers' homes on streets that follow original Revolutionary War farm boundaries.
