This renovated Colonial has four bedrooms and three updated full bathrooms, all on the second floor, plus a half bathroom on the first floor. Freshly painted; hardwood floors throughout. Living room with wood-burning fireplace, large dining room, glass-enclosed family room. Finished basement with recreation room, storage and laundry. Heated two-car garage.

A few minutes north of the George Washington Bridge, this hilly, well-groomed suburban community has become a magnet for fairly well-off, education-oriented families from a wide range of nationalities and ethnic backgrounds.

“You have this little town of 14,000 people and people from around the world know about it,” said Anat Eisenberg, an agent with Keller Williams Town Life. “The international market here is very strong. We have Europeans, people from the Far East. The common denominator is the appeal of the schools.”

Most home buyers are couples in their mid-30s to mid-40s with children, said Ms. Eisenberg, a 24-year Tenafly resident and the mother of three children who graduated from Tenafly High School.

“Prices are going up, but within reasons,” Ms. Eisenberg said. “There is constant demand, a healthy market, but nothing dramatic.”
