Characteristics

Transportation

This borough will appeal to house buyers who want to reside in a compact community because it is rather pedestrian-friendly; carrying out day-to-day needs is convenient without a car, and a good number of businesses of different types can be found as well. However, Bogota is not particularly conducive to cycling because the bicycling network is not very extensive, and cyclists encounter a considerable amount of elevation changes. Bogota is not especially transit friendly. Nevertheless, there is the Anderson Street and Essex Street on the Pascack Valley Line. Property owners have access to approximately 20 bus lines, and it is very easy to get to a nearby bus stop from most residences. However, commuting by car is convenient in Bogota. Most houses for sale are a short drive from the closest highway, such as Christopher Columbus Hwy.
