About Moonachie

Moonachie is a compact borough of less than one square mile in the southeastern Meadowlands region of Bergen County. With a population under 3,000, it is one of the smallest municipalities in the county. Despite its size, Moonachie has a strong community identity forged in part by shared challenges, including severe flooding during Hurricane Sandy in 2012. The borough is situated near Teterboro Airport and has convenient access to major highways, making it a practical location for residents who work in the area or commute to New York City.

Highlights

  • Close-knit community with active civic organizations
  • Proximity to Teterboro Airport and MetLife Stadium area
  • Convenient access to Routes 17, 46, and NJ Turnpike
  • Affordable housing compared to much of Bergen County
