Homes in Alpine

Alpine is a small, low-density borough of large single-family homes. Detached houses make up 94% of housing units and 93% of occupied homes are owner-occupied. With only about 593 housing units, the survey's margins of error are wide.

The median year built is 1982, newer than most of Bergen County. About 30% of units were built in the 1980s, and about 19% date from 2000 or later.

Utility gas heats 87% of occupied homes; electricity heats 9% and fuel oil about 3%.

The borough Building Dept. at Borough Hall, 100 Church Street, handles UCC permits; inspections are by appointment at ext. 222. The same page directs septic matters to the Alpine Health Department and seepage-pit and drainage inspections to the Borough Engineer.

Flooding

FEMA's National Flood Hazard Layer maps Zone AE Special Flood Hazard Area along Alpine's Hudson River shoreline; the rest of the borough's mapped area is minimal flood hazard (Zone X), and no inland streams with mapped floodplains were found within its boundary. Bergen County's current FEMA flood maps took effect on August 28, 2019. The borough has a Stormwater Management page on its website but no flood-specific page was found. To check a specific address, use the FEMA Flood Map Service Center.
