Verona's small-town atmosphere
Verona appeals to homebuyers who like natural surroundings. Hilly mountain terrain grows up around the neighborhood, producing picturesque sunrises and sunsets. The spacious homes on Afterglow Avenue and Afterglow Way are coveted for their size and views of the sunset. Verona is also known for its beautiful parks and several small businesses, which provide a genuine sense of local community. Events are a big part of the lifestyle here, with some festivals organized by the Chamber of Commerce, such as Verona Restaurant Week. Overall, Verona comes off as a suburb that can stand on its own, by producing a small-town vibe. “It has a really active downtown along Bloomfield Avenue,” says Rhonda Myers, interim president at First Presbyterian Church of Verona. “You’ll see a lot of foot traffic there – people like to be out and congregate.” Verona's CAP Index crime score is a 2 out of 10. The national average is 4.

Single-family homes from $500,000
Cape Cods, Craftsman-style Colonials and Tudor homes give the area a stately, upscale look. It’s typical for homes to feature fine details like arched front doorways, off-center front porches and sculpted ornamental shrubs. There are also a few luxury condominium complexes like Claridge Houses and Kips Ridge, which include outdoor grills and tennis courts. Claridge Houses also offers residents a heated pool with views of New York City. Single-family homes range from $500,000 to $700,000, with homes in the Afterglow section reaching $1 million. Condominium units start around $250,000 and can rise to nearly $800,000.

Verona Park's lakes and bridges
Hilltop Reservation, a nearly 300-acre nature preserve, is one of the township's highest points and paths for hiking and biking. But there are also more easily accessible public spaces. “Verona Park is absolutely beautiful,” says Myers. “My grandson likes to ride his bike down the paths there.” The 54-acre park features a pair of lakes and a bridge that’s a popular Instagram-worthy spot. An attached boathouse is often where fishers congregate. Bocce ball courts and a playground offer a way to stay active, while visitors also lounge in paddleboats or in the grass for the summer concert series. Montclair Golf Club on the east end is praised for offering challenges, thanks to four 9-hole courses.
Verona Park spans 54 acres and includes a lake, boathouse, and scenic walking paths.
Fishing is a favorite pastime at Verona Park’s lake, especially during warmer months.

Dining and shopping in Verona
Dining in Verona is eclectic and cosmopolitan. Bloom is a highly polished restaurant with white tables and botanical art, serving a fusion of French and Korean cuisine. More salt-of-the-earth destinations include Verona Inn, which has been a beloved local watering hole for over 75 years. It’s a place to pair a brew with a burger and loaded onion rings. Residents head to Bloomfield Avenue for restaurants, locally owned shops and necessities such as banks and drugstores. For groceries, residents can drive into Montclair to shop at Whole Foods and Kings Food Market.

Fair in the Square festival
One of the most popular annual events is the Fair in the Square festival, which includes a tree-lighting ceremony, food, music and children’s activities. Myers points out another feature: “You’ll see civic groups handing out info, as well as craft vendors.” The neighborhood gets all keyed up for the Green Fairs Summer Concert Series, and residents ring in fall with the Chalk Art Festival.
Commuting to Montclair or NYC
Lakeside Avenue, Bloomfield Avenue and Pompton Avenue all feature bus lines, and these are the main thoroughfares that drivers will use as well. A roughly 5-mile drive north will also lead drivers to Interstate 80. Verona is about 20 miles west of New York City, so it’s a popular location for commuters. Train riders can hop over to Montclair, which has several transit stations, as well as entertaining diversions. “The other benefit of Verona is that the town of Montclair is straight down Bloomfield, and there are a lot of lively destinations, like an independent movie theater,” says Myers.
