Living in Union Township, NJ

Union Township is a vibrant, established community located on the northern edge of Union County, approximately 17 miles west of Midtown Manhattan.

Its position along the Garden State Parkway, Interstate 78, and Route 22 makes it one of Central New Jersey's most accessible towns — a quality that continues to attract buyers looking for a genuine connection to the New York metro area without the price premium of communities closer to the city.

The housing stock in Union Township is diverse and predominantly owner-occupied, featuring single-family colonials, ranches, split-levels, and Cape Cods — many constructed between the 1940s and 1970s and well-maintained on established neighborhood streets.
