A New York suburb in New Jersey
East Rutherford, while in New Jersey, is considered a suburb of New York, as it is located only 7 miles west of Midtown Manhattan. It's also the home of two New York professional football teams. East Rutherford is said to be the smallest city in the country to host any professional sports team. "East Rutherford offers residents the best of both worlds," says Corey Jones, a real estate agent with Coldwell Banker Realty. "There are more affordable properties than surrounding areas with stunning views of the Manhattan skyline." While living in East Rutherford places residents at the forefront of professional football and A-list concerts, it's also a cozy, quaint community. If you're looking for the best of both worlds, come find it in East Rutherford.
