When you’re looking for a home in Bergen County, location, schools, and long-term value matter most. 10-01 Berdan Ave in Fair Lawn checks all those boxes and more.
1. Excellent School Proximity
This home is located just steps away from three highly rated schools:
John A. Forrest Elementary – a short walk Thomas Jefferson Middle School – less than half a mile Fair Lawn High School – practically around the corner
That means daily convenience for families and long-term demand for resale value.
2. Property Features That Stand Out
3 bedrooms, 2.5 baths Detached 2-car garage – rare in this area Finished basement – perfect for extra living space, gym, or home office Corner lot (60 × 100) for added privacy Recent updates including a newer roof, furnace/boiler, and a modern granite kitchen with stainless steel appliances
This isn’t just another house — it’s a move-in ready home with features buyers consistently look for.
3. How It Compares to Nearby Sales
Fair Lawn homes with similar size and updates have recently sold for:
12-22 Edward St – $676,000 (3 bed, 2 bath) 35-03 Berdan Ave – $838,000 (3 bed, 2.5 bath, April 2025) 3-11 Lyncrest Ave – $900,000 (4 bed, 3 bath)
At a list price of $714,900, 10-01 Berdan Ave is very competitively positioned compared to other nearby homes.
4. Renting vs Owning: The 15-Year Lookback
Let’s say someone rented a similar home in Fair Lawn 15 years ago. At an average rent of $2,800–$3,000 back then (rising to $3,700+ today), they would have spent more than $800,000 in rent with nothing to show for it.
Now imagine instead they bought this property 15 years ago for around $437,000 (typical price back then). Today, with appreciation, the home would be worth around $715,000. That’s nearly $280,000 in price growth, plus hundreds of thousands more in mortgage paydown. Together, that’s $300K–$400K in wealth they would have built instead of losing $800K to rent.
5. Buying Today and Building Tomorrow
If you purchase this home today at $714,900 and hold it for the next 15 years, even at conservative appreciation rates, the value could reach $1.2 million or more. With mortgage paydown along the way, your family could build $700K–$800K in equity while enjoying one of Bergen County’s most desirable school districts.
The Bottom Line
Fair Lawn combines strong schools, commuter convenience, and long-term property value. With three schools within walking distance, a finished basement, two-car garage, and modern upgrades, 10-01 Berdan Ave is a rare opportunity for buyers who want a home that delivers both lifestyle and financial growth.
