 Talk
to newcomers
and you oftern
hear the same
story: A young
couple is fed
up with high
rents for cramped
apartments in
Manhattan, Brooklyn
and Queens. Maybe
they're expecting
a child. They
approach the
suburbs warily,
unwilling to
move too far
from New York,
where at least
one of them works.
Maplewood's Norman Rockwell image is not just an illusion. Nothing much
has changed here in 30 years. Sure, there is an art gallery and a bagel shop in town, but there
is also an old-fashioned luncheonette, where neighbors sit and talk. The four-square mile township
is a vision of sidewalks, parks and tranquil streets lined with tall trees and Colonial and Tudor
homes. It's four-block downtown, affectionatelly known as "the village," is filled
with quaint, family owned shops. Even the downtown Kings - the smallest of the sixteen store
chain is more like a country store than a supermarket.
This small town atmosphere is what attracts people to Maplewood, along
with the town's natrual beauty and amenities. Maplewood abuts the South Mountain Reservation
- a 2,020-acre recreational preserve that includes picnic grounds and hiking trails. The town
also has six parks and an award-winning outdoor pool.
 Another
attraction, especially for first-time home buyers, is affordability.
Many couples are drawn to the socioeconomic mix of the community's
23,000 residents, which some say, gives it a down to earth feel.
The scenery in Maplewood attracts people to this 4-square mile township,
but a strong sense of community keeps tradition strong and neighbors close. A collection of Tudors,
Victorians, and Colonials predominate most of the single family housing. Beautiful established
landscaping is a common thread throughout.
A home in Maplewood may sell for $150,000 to over $700,000 and there
are larger homes on larger properties available for $350,000 and up. Also available in more modest,
but very appealing neighborhoods are homes ranging from $125,000 and up.
Maplewood is 18 miles from Manhattan and many residents commute daily
by train (about 30 minutes at rush hour).
 The
Township shares a quality school system with South Orange. There are
six elementary schools, two middle schools, and one high school with
a reputation for academic excellence. Columbia High School offers advanced
placement, college prep and vocational courses as well as classes in
film making and journalism. Columbia offers 25 clubs from astronomy
to chess and 23 varsity sports.
Maplewood is governed by a Township committee, made up of 5 men and women
and a mayor.
