Compared to Westfield or Cranford, Fanwood is quieter and less commercially developed — which is either a feature or a drawback depending on what you're looking for. There's no main restaurant row, and that's not changing anytime soon. What you do get is a real residential feel, streets lined with mature trees, and a sense that the town hasn't been polished for outside consumption.
