Harrington Park is a small, quiet borough in northeastern Bergen County near the Oradell Reservoir, with wooded residential streets, a compact town center and a lot of open water and protected land nearby. The housing is almost all single-family homes, from older cottages and colonials near the center to post-war ranches, capes and split-levels and some larger newer houses on wooded lots.

Housing in Harrington Park
Harrington Park is a residential borough of single-family homes. The oldest houses date from the early twentieth century, but much of the borough was built out in the post-war decades with ranches, capes, split-levels and colonials. Many have since been expanded, and some have been replaced by larger homes. Commercial buildings are few and small.
Weather and exposure
Tree cover is heavy across much of the borough, with tall hardwoods close to houses. Proximity to the reservoir and surrounding woods means high humidity and slow-drying roofs, which favor moss and algae on shaded slopes. Storms bring down limbs, and the open water can let wind build across it before reaching nearby homes. Snow and freeze-thaw cycles bring ice dams on the low eaves of ranches and capes.
