Family-oriented community that revolves around the schools
Upscale Livingston in Essex County, NJ offers a strong community, family-friendly activities and many amenities. “One of the number one reasons that attract families is the school system,” says Lisa Lang, a Compass agent with 30 years of experience who also sent her children through the school system. She notes how many go on to top colleges. Though home to about 30,000 residents, Livingston offers less density than neighboring towns, like Milburn and Maplewood, and home prices tend to be slightly lower since it lacks a train. However, the township continues to attract buyers from NYC, Hoboken and Jersey City.

Single-family homes on bigger-than-average lots
Residential streets are lined with mature trees and landscaped lawns, plus, “Homes are not right on top of each other,” Lang adds. Sidewalks aren’t as prevalent as other towns, but streets are quiet and wide enough for walking and bike riding. Single-family homes comprise most of the older housing stock, though there are a handful of condos and townhomes. Housing styles include colonial and ranch, but Lang notes how split-levels are the most predominant. Prices range from $650,000 for a three-bedroom starter home to up to $4.5 million for a custom, new-build mansion. The median is about $1 million. It’s also possible to find new construction homes starting around $1.4 million on an individual basis, since there aren’t any new home developments. Bel Air, Bel Air Woods, Coventry and Chestnut Hill are among the most desirable sections, with prices starting around $2 million. Property taxes tend to be high, as is the case throughout Essex County. And though homes are priced to sell, low inventory has resulted in bidding wars.
Residents can purchase large colonial homes in Livingston.
