Union County
Where city dwellers come to unwind. Great neighborhood feel, beautiful parks, award winning downtowns with an abundance of delicious and popular restaurants. All within close distance to NJ transit lines perfect for commuters.
As a long time Union County resident, I know first hand what attracted me to this amazing area many years ago. And what still keeps me here is the great quality of life you'll experience that will make you feel right at home. It's the people, the events, friendliness of neighbors, activities, train stations, schools, diversity, award winning downtowns in Cranford, Westfield and beyond.
Union County consists of 21 distinct municipalities that are in close proximity to NYC and offer easy access to Newark Liberty International Airport. From the Queen City (Plainfield) to Elizabeth, the Watchung Mountain reservation and everything in between, you will find an abundance of diversity, places to unwind and relax, restaurants, schools, and many adventures to fill your days and weekends.
There are picturesque parks, trails, golf-courses, excellent public schools and numerous train and bus stations running along many downtowns that connect to the epicenters of Newark and Manhattan, including the North Jersey Coast Line, Northeast Corridor and the popular Raritan Valley Line. Any box you have, Union County has a check mark for them all!
