The five highest-priced home sales reported in Bergen-Passaic (New Jersey) for the week ending November 1, 2026, added up to $15.535 million. All five were single-family homes, and all were in Bergen County.
The group sets a brick home in Franklin Lakes alongside contemporary designs, and finished lower levels for entertaining are a recurring theme. In one of the sales, the same agent was on both sides.
No. 1 — $5,200,000 · 28 Ellens Way, Alpine, New Jersey
The week’s top sale was 28 Ellens Way in Alpine, which sold for $5,200,000. The home sits on a cul-de-sac, and its exterior pairs stucco with stone. Inside, clean architectural lines, tall floor-to-ceiling windows and warm, textured materials set the tone, and the property has sunset views.
The living and dining areas are open to each other, and the custom kitchen is fitted with Sub-Zero and Thermador appliances. A terrace extends the living space outdoors. The home has three stories, five bedrooms and seven bathrooms, six full and one half, along with three gas fireplaces. One bedroom is on the first floor. Upstairs, the primary wing shares the level with a family room and three bedrooms that each have their own bath. The bathrooms have heated floors, and Porcelanosa tile appears among the finishes.
The walkout lower level is given over to leisure, with a home theater, a wine cellar, a gym and a recreation room that has a full bar and space for billiards. The property last sold for $1.4 million in 2015.
