City - Summit

Summit is a small suburban city positioned about 25 miles west of Manhattan along Interstate 78. The close proximity to New York is ideal for commuters, especially with rail service available from Downtown.

Rentals range from neighborhood homes to budget-friendly apartments and condos.

The charming Downtown district is loaded with popular locally-owned businesses, from eclectic coffeehouses to international bistros to unique specialty shops, often housed in beautifully preserved historic storefronts.
