Berkeley Heights, NJ

76°F · Sunny

On a weekday morning in Berkeley Heights, the parking lot at the train station fills up fast. Commuters from the Mountainview and Valley Road neighborhoods walk or drive a few minutes to catch the Raritan Valley Line, coffee in hand, before the town settles into its quieter daytime rhythm. It's that kind of place — connected enough for city workers, calm enough for families who want their kids to actually play outside.

Berkeley Heights sits in the western part of Union County, bordering Mountainside, New Providence, and Springfield. It doesn't have the downtown foot traffic of Cranford or Summit, but that's kind of the point. People move here because they want space, good schools, and a commute that doesn't break them — not because they want to be in the middle of everything.
