A commuter town with a big personality
Just 13 miles from New York City and 7 miles from Newark, Nutley doesn’t feel like a commuter town. With an active event calendar and plenty of local restaurants to choose from nestled in the heart of town, Nutley has its own identity while keeping the option of commuting to NYC open. With green lawns and plenty of parks, Nutley residents who work downtown can come home to a lush world that changes its colors with the season. “Nutley is comprised of estates that were broken down,” says Realtor Matthew De Fede with Realty Executives Elite Homes. “The town was developed at the turn of the century, and parts of those estates have become the park system.”
