In the recent past, our community has been experiencing significant and rapid change including through large-scale real estate developments:
- The Summit in Alpine, located on Closter Dock Road, is the first townhome real estate development in our borough. This is a historical shift in that it is the first time multi-family complexes and townhouses have been permitted in Alpine.
- In addition, the Lily Pond Estates, also on Closter Dock Road, are expected to add 40 new dwelling units with 138 new people including 36 children (representing a potential increase of 25% in Alpine School enrollment.)
Many concerns related to such developments have surfaced including increased traffic, impact on our school system, water drainage and potential flooding, uprooting of trees, and others. Many of these items remain unaddressed or open (see Sept 16, 2025 Alpine Planning Board Minutes).
