Welcome > Local Info > Old Tappan Information...


Bi-State Plaza, Old Tappan

About the Old Tappan, New Jersey Area 

On the shores of placid Lake Tappan, Old Tappan is a scenic community of about 5,500 residents. Small enough to sport only one shopping center and one traffic light, Old Tappan has plentiful parks, generous wooded areas and peaceful neighborhoods, many with views of the lake. The town’s award winning, schools only add the appeal of this neighborly community for young families.

While suburban, the community has a real country feel, with plentiful wooded areas, lots of open space, and ample lake views. The Hudson River is just 5 miles east, bringing additional recreational opportunities.

Bergen County has long been prosperous, with a strong manufacturing, high technology and educational base and New Jersey’s sophisticated road and rail system enables locals to commute with ease.

Pretty historic homes and affordable fixer uppers are plentiful in the older parts of town, while the newer developments have a range of properties, from reasonably priced family homes to upscale dream homes and large ranch homes on rural sections.

Parks/Sports/Recreation/Golf
A pretty green town with two large parks and ample recreational facilities, Old Tappan is a great place to live if you enjoy being active out of doors. Oakes Park has a quaint gazebo and 9/11 memorial and is a popular summer picnic spot. Stonepoint Park has four ball fields, a running track and bocce court, a well equipped children’s playground and a community center, home to many town events. Old Tappan also has a golf course, 3 baseball fields and basketball courts, 3 athletic fields and an ice skating rink.  

Locals enjoy boating, swimming, kayaking and ice skating on Lake Tappan and exploring the Hudson River region. Just 5 miles east, the Hudson River is a good place to kayaking, canoeing boating or sailing, and the riverbank parkland runs for several miles. Just west of Old Tappan is Wood Dale County Park, with a lake, a bike path, tennis courts, picnic spots and a children’s playground.  


Town Hall, Old Tappan

Special Attractions/Events
Old Tappan is a family-friendly community, with a full round of sporting and seasonal events for locals to enjoy together. The annual Town Day celebration in Stonepoint Park is a lot of fun, and children look forward to the Easter Egg hunt each summer. A regular Farmer’s Market is also held throughout the summer months.  

Nearby centers are easy to get to for an evening’s entertainment or for large scale cultural events or shopping; much of Old Tappan’s charm lies in the fact that it is a simple community with a slower pace of life and less modern conveniences than larger centers.

Interesting Facts/Historic Buildings and Places
The Old Tappan region was originally home to the Lenape Native Americans, who were joined by the Delaware later on. Originally named “Tappan” as an Anglicization of “Tuphanne”, the Delaware Indian word for the region that literally means cold water, the settlement became “Old Tappan” in the nineteenth century to distinguish itself from from Tappan in New York State.

Real Estate Tips
Financing Your Home >Mortgage Terms

New mortgage loan products offer a more complex selection of terms. Lenders now offer mortgages that are blends of short-term ARMs and 30-year fixed-rate loans with a lower fixed-rate of interest for a period of five, seven or ten years. Be sure that you understand what happens at the end of the initial term before you sign on the dotted line for such a loan.

Many of these loans revert to a 1-year adjustable rate loan at the end of the initial term and can be adjusted once a year based on an index tied to the cost of money. You should know how much over the index your rate will be set and the limit or cap on how much your payments can increase. A "balloon" note requires the entire balance to be paid to the lender after the initial period of the loan ends. Most of these loans require the lender to guarantee to refinance the note at that point if payments have been timely. The lender should spell out how the re-finance rate will be determined and what costs will be involved. These loans can help you buy a more expensive house than you could afford with a 30-year fixed rate mortgage, but be sure that you understand the terms and the potential risks.
