West Orange is an upscale suburban community located about thirty miles west of Manhattan. The township is best known for its historic Llewellyn Park neighborhood, filled with Victorian homes that once belonged to such prominent citizens as Thomas Edison (Edison’s factory is one of the city’s distinctive landmarks as well). Most of the landscape in West Orange is covered by residential neighborhoods, with the popular Essex Green Shopping Center in the middle of town serving as the hub for shopping, dining, and entertainment.
When the weather is nice, locals love to hit the links at the nearby golf courses or explore the trails of South Mountain and Eagle Rock reservations. Seton Hall University sits just a few blocks southeast of town, making West Orange a great place for students, faculty, and staff members to live.
