Springfield, New Jersey carries real historical weight. In 1780, one of the final battles of the American Revolution was fought right here, and the town has held onto that legacy ever since. Tucked into Union County and spanning just six square miles, Springfield sits about 20 miles west of New York City, making it a well-positioned base for anyone who values suburban calm without losing reach to a major metro. Kean University and Seton Hall University are both within a short drive, lending an educated, active energy to the area. The Baltusrol Golf Club, founded in 1895 and ranked among the country's finest courses, has hosted multiple major championships including the 2016 PGA Championship.
The housing mix here leans toward established residential neighborhoods, with single-family homes, townhomes, and traditional apartment communities spread throughout the township.
