'Good value' and land 45 miles from NYC
A mix of suburban atmosphere and rural landscape draw homebuyers to Franklin Township, where they can still be 45 miles from New York City and about 35 miles from Newark. The neighborhood’s subdivisions are mostly confined to the area’s borders, while the center is made up of homes with larger lots, farmland and an extensive trail system. “It’s a nice rural area; You come here for good value and also for some land,” says Mark Heflin, a sales associate with RE/MAX Preferred Professionals, and a Franklin Township local who’s been selling homes here for over 40 years.
