Located along the banks of the Shrewsbury River about 40 miles southeast of Newark, Little Silver combines the beauty of coastal and countryside living. Similar to many towns on the New England coastline, Little Silver is upscale with a variety of rentals available, from farmhouse homes to cozy apartments. This borough is verdant with trees and other shrubbery lining the streets, while some residents enjoy waterfront views in their backyards. With easy access to the river, watersports and boating are local favorites.
You’ll also find residents in the charming downtown area which houses office buildings, the library, local restaurants, grocery stores, and boutiques. Take a walk a few blocks from downtown to Sickles Park to enjoy Little Silver’s pastoral vibe. Sickles Park is home to a community garden, a historic barn, and Sickles Market, an old fashioned outdoor market selling fresh produce, gourmet treats, pastries, and wine. Great for families, Little Silver has access to outstanding schools while the neighborhoods are safe and quiet. If you need to travel out of town, Little Silver is only about an hour or to major cities including Newark, New Brunswick, and New York City.
