Summit

Perched atop the Watchung hills, Summit is a vibrant small city with a lively downtown, beautiful neighborhoods, and a true sense of community. Homes range from stately Colonials and classic Tudors to brand-new construction, low-maintenance townhomes, and condos just steps from the train. Midtown Direct service puts New York City within easy reach, while top-rated schools, lovely parks, and a busy calendar of local events keep life at home just as full.

Summit’s story began as a quiet farming village before the railroad transformed it into a favorite retreat for New Yorkers in the late 1800s. Many of the grand homes built during that era still line its hilltop streets today, giving the town its timeless character. Today, Summit’s train station sits where the Morristown Line and Gladstone Branch meet, making it one of the most convenient commuter towns in the state, with Route 24 and I-78 just minutes away.

Families are drawn to Summit Public Schools, one of New Jersey’s most respected districts, along with well-known private schools like Kent Place and Oak Knoll. Downtown is packed with local shops, restaurants, and cafés, while the Summit Playhouse, Reeves-Reed Arboretum, and Summit Family Aquatic Center offer plenty to enjoy close to home. The Watchung Reservation is only a short drive away for hiking and exploring, and Overlook Medical Center provides top-quality care right in town.

From its historic hilltop estates to its bustling Sunday farmers market, Summit blends small-town warmth with big-city convenience. With an easy commute, excellent schools, and endless things to see and do, it’s easy to see why Summit is one of New Jersey’s most popular places to live!
