The large township of Union is a thriving northeastern New Jersey suburb, sitting adjacent to Elizabeth and less than five miles from Newark Liberty International Airport. The majority of the community’s landscape is covered by residential neighborhoods, with lush trees and upscale homes, apartments, and condos lining the streets.
The Downtown area surrounding Morris and Stuyvesant Avenues serves as a major hangout for locals, with everything from specialty shops and unique cafes to the historic Union Theater occupying the cozy storefronts. Kean University on the east end serves around 16,000 students and employs hundreds of locals as faculty and staff members.
