General Overview
The Reserve at Arden Place is a luxury 55+ community nestled in the heart of Hillsdale, Bergen County. Built in 2010 by K. Hovnanian, this exclusive enclave offers beautifully designed single-level condominiums in an elegant, low-rise elevator building. With just 39 residences, The Reserve delivers a boutique living experience that combines upscale finishes, low maintenance, and a walkable suburban lifestyle.
Homes at The Reserve generally range from 1,300 to over 1,800 square feet and include two bedrooms, two bathrooms, and private outdoor space in the form of balconies or terraces. Standard features include open floor plans, 9-foot ceilings, gourmet kitchens with granite counters and stainless steel appliances, hardwood flooring, spacious walk-in closets, and in-unit laundry. Deeded indoor parking and private storage rooms are also included. Prices typically range from the high $400,000s to the mid $600,000s.
Residences & Pricing
All floor plans deliver full first-floor living. A vaulted great-room anchors the main level, flowing into a gourmet kitchen with an oversized island, a dining area, and sliding doors to a private patio. The primary suite, laundry, den, and powder room also sit on this level; two additional bedrooms and a full bath wait upstairs alongside large walk-in storage closets. Models range from roughly 2,370 to 2,550 square feet. Recent closings and new-construction offerings have fallen between $1.1 million and $1.33 million, reflecting lot location and finish upgrades.
Monthly Fees & Inclusions
The current homeowners-association assessment is about $705 per month, a single payment that covers exterior maintenance, landscaping, snow removal, use of all recreational amenities, and common-area insurance. Owners are responsible only for interior utilities, personal insurance, and property taxes.

Location & Lifestyle Highlights
Arden Place sits two minutes from downtown Hillsdale’s bakeries, cafés, and the Pascack Valley Line train station, yet the setting feels residential and secluded once you pass the entry monument. Big-box shopping on Route 17 and The Shops at Nanuet are both under fifteen minutes away, while golfers appreciate the quick hop to Darlington Golf Course. Residents often start the day with laps in the pool, spend the afternoon at nearby Demarest Farms for seasonal fruit picking, and close the evening around the clubhouse fireplace during Friday socials.
Rules & Practical Considerations
At least one occupant of each home must be fifty-five or older; additional residents may be as young as nineteen. House-hold pets are welcome with standard leash and waste rules, and fenced yards are prohibited to preserve open sightlines. Short-term rentals are not allowed, and any lease of twelve months or more must be approved by the board. Each residence includes an attached two-car garage and a driveway; overnight street parking is restricted to keep roads clear for snow plows and emergency vehicles.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the community gated? No. A decorative entry monument marks Arden Place, but there is no staffed gatehouse, keeping fees in check.
Are basements finished? All homes include a full nine-foot-ceiling basement; many owners choose to finish the space after closing, and plumbing rough-ins make adding a bath straightforward.
Can I install an electric-vehicle charger? Yes—Level 2 chargers may be added inside the garage after submitting a licensed-electrician plan to the HOA.
What is the guest policy for the pool? Each household may bring up to four guests; anyone staying more than three consecutive nights must register with management.
