Historic style, abundant natural beauty
Blending history, nature and classic style, Green Knoll exudes small-town charm about 40 miles from New York City. The area, in the thickly forested Watchung Mountains, offers residents a pastoral lifestyle away from urban congestion, yet full of personality, culture and amenities. “It’s really special in that it has that suburban feel to it, but you still have access to major shopping centers,” says Barbara Davis, real estate agent at Turpin Real Estate and longtime resident of the area. “It has country, it has urban, and it’s 10 minutes from pretty much everything.”
Traditional styles with more room to breathe
Homes in Green Knoll are typically traditional in style. Colonials are common, along with ranch styles and Cape Cods. Larger, more modern custom estates are also available. Though not especially large in comparison to neighborhoods farther out, prospective homebuyers will still find lots large enough to accommodate modest yards or gardens. “The area is really diverse in a number of ways, but one of my favorite things about Green Knoll is that you’ll find as many young professionals as you will retirees,” says Davis. “The prices are very fair, and the market is very competitive as a result.” Prices for single-family homes range from $365,000 to $900,000, though particularly large estates – usually on at least several acres of land – can go beyond $1.5 million.
