Where to Stay When Visiting Becton Dickinson (Franklin Lakes)

By Rachel Julian, Editor-in-Chief · · 5 min read

Becton Dickinson's headquarters is in Franklin Lakes, New Jersey. Stay near the campus, not across the river. There's rarely a reason to pay Manhattan prices and reverse-commute.

Direct answer: Visiting Becton Dickinson (BD)'s Franklin Lakes, NJ HQ (1 Becton Dr): stay in the Bergen County area near the office. Stay in the Teaneck / Paramus / Secaucus area near Becton Dickinson — the hotels here are minutes from the campuses off I-95, Route 4, and the Meadowlands. Manhattan is across the bridge but the wrong base; stay on the Jersey side near the office. Newark Liberty (EWR) is about 25 minutes south and the usual choice. LaGuardia (LGA) across the river is a comparable ~30 minutes for the county's northeast corner. Pick by your connection; EWR for most.

Becton Dickinson (BD) is a global medical-technology company, headquartered at 1 Becton Dr, Franklin Lakes, NJ 07417. That's Bergen County — the densely developed northeast corner of New Jersey just across the George Washington Bridge, where Cognizant (Teaneck), Quest Diagnostics (Secaucus), and Becton Dickinson (Franklin Lakes) sit a short drive from one another.
