Quiet, family-friendly living 35 miles from NYC

Just 35 miles outside Manhattan, Warren couldn't feel more removed from the city. Spacious lots on quiet residential streets offer a sense of seclusion, and wooded areas separate properties. "You get home and just can't believe you're in this quiet place. You could be in the middle of nowhere," says Judy Weiniger, Warren resident for over 25 years and Broker Associate at the Weiniger Group in Warren. Families take advantage of Warren's highly rated school system, ample public parks and many local businesses, which contribute to the easygoing atmosphere. "It's a perfect blend of rural and suburban lifestyle. Our town is very open, very friendly. It really is a happy place to live," Weiniger says.

Subdivisions have large lots and homes separated by woods

Many properties in Warren sit on over an acre of land. Smaller ranch-style houses, townhouses and bi-levels often sell for between $600,000 and $900,000, while spacious, contemporary houses range from $1 million to $3 million. The upper end of this range includes estate-style properties with custom features like modern interiors and inground swimming pools. Single-family homes make up most of the residential options in Warren. That said, Weiniger explains that the township has seen more high-density development, including apartments around the highway and off Mountain Boulevard, one of Warren's main commercial strips. Warren's Cap Index Crime Score is a 2, lower than the national average of 4.

Older students continue to A-minus-rated Warren Middle School and A-rated Watchung Hills Regional High School.

Outdoor recreation at East County Park and the Municipal Complex

East County Park's trails along peaceful meadows and around ponds are a good place to enjoy all four seasons in the township. In addition to paved trails, there is a fenced-in dog park and picnic areas. The Municipal Complex, behind the township municipal building, has a playground, baseball diamonds, and basketball and tennis courts. During the summer, locals bring their picnic blankets and lawn chairs for concerts at the Municipal Complex, hosted by the Warren Township Recreation Department. Next to the complex, Warren Brook Golf Course is a public facility with 18 holes.

Smaller neighborhood parks, like Greenwood Meadows Park. have more amenities. "They're gutting that and putting in a nice new playground system in Greenwood Meadows," Weiniger says. "The town is always supporting the residents and trying to improve on the facilities."
