Affluent train town with two identities, plus arts and shopping
Millburn consistently ranks as having one of the top public-school districts in the state, making this NYC bedroom community an attractive option for many families.
Millburn is a township with two identities. On the one hand, Millburn is a quaint, walkable section with a thriving downtown and smaller homes. Its other half is Short Hills, an unincorporated community within the less dense northern part, home to the eponymous upscale mall and multimillion-dollar properties. Both towns share a school district and community amenities.
Donna Shaw is an experienced Weichert agent from Short Hills. “I’ve lived here for 26 years and my children went through the school system. [The area] has the convenience to NYC, and I love that it’s a caring community where everyone looks to help everybody.” There are also two direct trains to the city and Paper Mill Playhouse, a nationally recognized regional theater company.

From compact lots to multimillion-dollar mansions
Short Hills and Millburn are distinct in additional ways, from maintaining separate zip codes and post offices to the types of housing available. The Short Hills section offers bigger homes with more privacy, characterized by hilly, windy roads and tree thickets. New construction is more common, although colonials are the most popular in both towns. Property taxes are higher here than in Millburn due to larger properties on more land.
Millburn is denser with smaller homes on smaller lots. “If someone walks walkability, they want Millburn,” Shaw notes. In fact, many parts are within walking distance of Main Street, Millburn train station and Millburn Public Library, with more sidewalks as well.
The median price for both towns is $1.7 million, however single-family starter homes in Millburn start around $700,000 and go up to about $1.4 million. By comparison, single-family homes start closer to $1 million in Short Hills and can reach $5 million for a custom home on more than an acre.
Many streets in Millburn, NJ, feature a variety of home types, often changing from lot to lot.

Two NYC train stations
Millburn is 19 miles from Midtown and includes a train station in the heart of town. It's literally a short walk from Main Street, South Mountain Reservation and Millburn Public Library. Midtown direct trains to NYC take about 45 minutes. Short Hills also has its own train station with direct trains.
