About Glen Rock
Glen Rock is a village-like borough of about 12,000 named for the glacial boulder at its center — and it specifically for its schools. Housing is almost entirely single-family: colonials, Tudors, and Victorians on picturesque streets, with a walkable downtown along Rock Road. The borough has two NJ Transit stations, an unusual perk for a town its size.
