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. Settled in the 1600s as part of Elizabeth, Union became its own township in 1808 and has grown into a densely suburban community of nearly 60,000 residents. 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. Distinct neighborhoods including Battle Hill in the west, Connecticut Farms in the central township, Galloping Hill near the golf course, and Vauxhall in the east each carry their own character while sharing easy access to Union's commercial corridors along Morris Avenue (Route 82) and Route 22.
Community life in Union Township reflects its history and diversity. The township is home to Connecticut Farms Presbyterian Church, one of the oldest congregations in New Jersey dating to 1730 and a site of Revolutionary War significance. The Union Watersphere — a 212-foot landmark water tower — has long been a symbol of the township's identity. Annual events including the St. Patrick's Day Parade bring residents together and connect Union to its broader regional community.
For buyers, Union Township offers a practical blend of commuter convenience, school options, recreational facilities, and a range of price points. NJ Transit's Raritan Valley Line provides direct rail service from Union Station into Newark Penn Station, where connections to the broader NJ Transit and PATH networks make New York City commuting practical. Hallmark Realtors has helped buyers and sellers navigate Union Township's real estate market for over 40 years — contact us to put that experience to work for you.

What Makes Union Township Stand Out
Established Neighborhoods
Union's distinct neighborhoods — Battle Hill, Connecticut Farms, Galloping Hill, Vauxhall, and Putnam Manor — each offer their own character, street-level charm, and community identity within easy reach of the township's amenities.
Commuter Accessibility
Union Station on the NJ Transit Raritan Valley Line provides rail access to Newark Penn Station. The Garden State Parkway, I-78, and Routes 22 and 82 (Morris Avenue) offer multiple highway options for commuters heading into New York or around New Jersey.
Complete Public School System
The Township of Union Public Schools (TUPS) serves students from pre-K through Grade 12 across 10 schools, including five elementary schools, Connecticut Farms Elementary, Jefferson School, two middle schools, and Union High School.
Recreation & Green Space
The Galloping Hill Golf Course provides an accessible municipal golf option. The township maintains parks, athletic fields, and recreational programs throughout its neighborhoods. Larchmont Reservation provides natural open space in western Union.
Competitive Home Values
Union Township offers a diverse range of single-family homes, multi-family properties, and condos across a range of price points — generally competitive compared to neighboring communities like Millburn, Maplewood, and Springfield, while providing equivalent highway and transit access.
Historic Community Character
One of New Jersey's oldest communities, Union Township is home to Connecticut Farms Presbyterian Church (1730) — the first NJ church listed as a Historic Place — and the iconic Union Watersphere, a 212-foot landmark water tower that remains a symbol of the township.

What to Know Before You Buy
Union County Property Taxes
New Jersey has among the highest property taxes in the nation. Union Township homeowners are subject to Union County, municipal, and school district levies. NJ residents may qualify for tax relief through the ANCHOR Benefit, Senior Freeze (Property Tax Reimbursement), the $250 Senior/Veteran Deduction, and the StayNJ program. Always verify current eligibility with the NJ Division of Taxation — program details change.
NJ Attorney Review Period
All NJ real estate contracts include a three business-day attorney review period following the signing of a sales agreement. During this window, either party's attorney may disapprove the contract, propose changes, or allow it to stand as written. This is an NJ-specific protection for buyers and sellers — make sure you engage a licensed NJ real estate attorney before or immediately after signing.
Pre-Approval Is Essential
Union Township's market features competitive offers on well-priced properties. Having a mortgage pre-approval letter from a licensed NJ lender before you tour homes puts you in a much stronger position when you're ready to submit an offer. Ask your Hallmark agent for trusted local lender referrals.
Neighborhood Considerations
Union Township's neighborhoods vary meaningfully in character, proximity to transit, and proximity to commercial corridors. Battle Hill (western Union) is quieter and more residential; Vauxhall (eastern Union) has its own commercial base. Ask your Hallmark agent to walk you through the differences before you narrow your search by neighborhood.
Multi-Family Opportunities
Union Township's housing stock includes two-family and multi-family properties — a practical entry point for buyers who want rental income to offset their mortgage. Multi-family purchases in NJ follow the same attorney review and inspection process as single-family homes. Hallmark agents are experienced in evaluating multi-family investment potential.
