Just 12 miles from Manhattan, Cedar Grove sits beautifully between the First and Second Watchung Mountains in Essex County, where Eastern Red Cedar trees once blanketed its rolling hills and valleys. This historic township, former home to Frank Dailey's Meadowbrook Ballroom where Frank Sinatra and Glenn Miller once performed, maintains its small-town character while embracing contemporary living.

Cedar Grove's residential areas span from the Park Ridge Estates neighborhood to established communities throughout the township. The 157-acre Mills Reservation draws outdoor enthusiasts with its hiking trails and sweeping Manhattan skyline views, while the Hilltop Reservation provides additional paths for walking, running, and taking in panoramic vistas of the surrounding area.

Commuters benefit from direct access to Route 23, which runs through the township and connects to Interstates 80 and 280. NJ Transit bus service links residents to Newark and Manhattan, while the township's position puts it minutes from Montclair's dining scene. The Route 23 corridor houses Cedar Grove's main commercial district. With an average rent of approximately $2,100 for a one-bedroom apartment, Cedar Grove represents a premium rental market that caters to those seeking quality living spaces in a refined setting.
