Millburn / Short Hills

Just across the border from Union County in Essex County, Millburn Township is made up of two distinct and beloved communities, Millburn and Short Hills, sharing one government and one outstanding school district. Homes range from classic Colonials, Tudors, and Victorians to sprawling estates and luxurious new construction, along with condos and townhomes near downtown Millburn. Whether you’re looking for a walkable neighborhood close to town or a private retreat on a larger property, Millburn–Short Hills has an exceptional variety to choose from.

Millburn takes its name from the mills that once lined the Rahway River, while Short Hills began in the late 1800s as a planned community created by inventor Stewart Hartshorn, who designed it to blend homes with the natural landscape. That thoughtful vision still shapes the area today, with winding roads, mature trees, and gracious homes throughout. The township is also home to the Paper Mill Playhouse, one of the country’s most celebrated regional theaters.

Millburn’s public schools are among the most respected in New Jersey, with five neighborhood elementary schools, Millburn Middle School, and Millburn High School. Downtown Millburn offers local boutiques, restaurants, and cafés, while The Mall at Short Hills brings world-class shopping right to town. Residents also enjoy Taylor Park, the beautiful Greenwood Gardens, and the trails and waterfalls of the South Mountain Reservation just next door.

Commuters have two Midtown Direct train stations to choose from, Millburn and Short Hills, both offering a one-seat ride to Penn Station in New York, with Routes 24 and 78 and the Garden State Parkway close by. With its top-rated schools, rich culture, and elegant neighborhoods, it’s easy to see why Millburn–Short Hills is one of New Jersey’s most desirable places to live!
