North/Central NJ Suburbs That Fit Your Lifestyle … Part 1: Downtowns 👀☕️🍴 If I wanted NJ suburb life, but still wanted walkable downtowns, great food, coffee shops, and easy city access…these are the towns I’d seriously consider. Walkable streets, restaurants you actually frequent, and commuter-friendly access, plus quick trips via Newark Airport. A lifestyle that gives you options, not limits. Downtown-forward NJ towns to know: 📍Cranford Love grabbing coffee at @palmascafenj? Cozy sidewalks, a charming downtown, and a welcoming neighborhood vibe make this perfect for errands, strolls, and casual dinners. 📍Westfield Boutique shopping, polished streets, and local favorites like @ferrarosrestaurant or @1958cubancuisine give this downtown a lively, but refined energy. 📍Summit Date-night vibes and historic charm define this downtown. Coffee at @serradocesummit, dinner at @felinarestaurants, and a walkable, polished feel that’s elevated yet approachable. Plus, direct train access to NYC. 📍Madison A small college-town charm with plenty of downtown energy. @sundaymotorco is a go-to, plus you’re close to Morristown for even more dining and nightlife options. 📍Morristown Always evolving, with newer spots like @themorrisproper and @dinecotto, and a downtown that’s constantly buzzing. 📍Metuchen Brunch @hatch44cafe, drinks @meximodo, and a downtown that feels lively and connected, with easy train access for commuting or quick getaways. 📍Somerville A true Main Street town with nonstop dining options and local favorites at every corner (like @kymagreeknj). This downtown has energy for every mood, whether grabbing brunch or exploring new spots. Which downtown are you checking out first?

✨If I were moving from NY (again ;) to NJ, I would start by considering these towns - each one of them offers something a little different and only a hop, skip & train back to the city. 📍Maplewood * The first town I lived in in New Jersey * Direct train to NYC * Lots of arts based, theatre, freelance residents * Cute village downtown with coffee shops, bookstores & locally owned stores * Real estate: charming older homes, walkable neighborhoods 📍South Orange * Same train line as Maplewood, slightly larger town * Hip mix of historic homes and new developments * A smattering of townhomes to add to the traditional real estate * Home to Seton Hall University 📍Montclair * Suburban Space and culture * Multiple train stations to NYC or buses * Bustling downtown with restaurants, bars, indie shops, and the Montclair Art Museum * Hills, parks, and views * Bigger homes (with competitive prices) to Maplewood/South Orange 📍Short Hills / Millburn * Multiple express trains to New York * Top ranked schools in NJ * Millburn downtown is charming, Short Hills is more residential/luxury * Known for larger homes and private feel, higher volume of new construction homes 📍Summit * Highly ranked schools & suburban vibes * Direct train to NYC * Gorgeous downtown with a small-town feel + a lululemon ;) 📍Morristown * Celebrated for its rich history, lively downtown, and community events * Delightful reservations for hikes * Morris County with lower taxes than Essex County * Direct train to New York in around an hour 🏡 If you fancy some calm without giving up the culture (or brunch) Northern New Jersey might be just the ticket. 📨 DM me if you’re planning a move to New Jersey from the city and I can help you find a perfect match #newyorkcity #newjersey #citytosuburbs #maplewoodnj #summitnj #montclairnj #morristownnj #essexcountynj #njrealestate #njrealtor @njfromatoz
