When the world came to Bergen County for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, the economic ripple effects were impossible to miss. Millions of dollars flowed through local hotels, restaurants, and small businesses as fans filled MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford and nearby fan fest events.

Numbers from the tournament highlight the scale of that impact: more than 645,000 fans attended matches at MetLife Stadium, and another 623,000-plus joined local fan fest celebrations. Across the broader New York-New Jersey region, the event generated billions in direct spending and contributed $414.2 million in state and local tax revenue.

For residents, business owners, and real estate watchers, this kind of visitor activity underscores the economic momentum and community vitality that make Bergen County such a compelling place to live, work, and invest. As we look ahead, major events like this offer a useful lens for understanding what draws people to our towns and how local markets stay dynamic.

Holy Cross Cemetery in North Arlington is more than a final resting place. It is a quiet sanctuary where faith, history, and art meet. Established in 1915, this 208-acre site holds over 300,000 interments, making it one of the largest Catholic cemeteries in the region, located on the southern most tip of Bergen County, 10 miles from NYC.

What's truly remarkable is its collection of more than $5 million in sculptures and mosaics. Among them is a 60-foot steel canopy that once sheltered now Saint Pope John Paul II during his 1995 visit to nearby Giants Stadium. The cemetery also features a moving 9/11 memorial, where two 20-foot steel frames outline the Twin Towers against the real New York City skyline.

For New Jersey residents and catholic history lovers in and around New York City, a visit here offers a chance to reflect on local heritage and global events in a serene, open-air setting.

You find the perfect colonial in Ridgewood, make an offer, and the seller picks another buyer.

The difference was probably that pre-approval letter. Without it, sellers see you as unqualified. With it, they know a lender has already checked your income, credit, and debt.

Our mortgage partners can walk you through the paperwork and get you that letter in a few days, not weeks. It tells sellers you are ready to buy.
