Drive through Maplewood, New Jersey and you will immediately feel right at home. With the perfect, quaint New England town feel as you move through downtown to the lovely landscaping you will find throughout – Maplewood has a lot to offer its residents.

Dotted with local businesses that have been around in the community for a long time, locals love to frequent the mom and pop shops that make up much of downtown Maplewood’s backdrop.

Restaurants are also plenty here with some of my favorites including Arturo’s, a great place for pizza and Italian fare. There is also the Coda Kitchen and Bar for those of you that don’t know what you feel like for lunch for dinner (they have anything from grilled cheese to Thai food). And if you are into cooking yourself you will absolutely love the Freeman’s Fish Market – offering all kinds of fresh fish delivered to your front door and still locally owned and operated.

In terms of transportation, the Maplewood Station offers flexibility to residents – with the commuter short train lines that take people from their homes or blocks in their neighborhoods directly to town, saving them from parking hassles. The education system in Maplewood has recently taken a huge climb in the New Jersey Monthly Magazine’s school rankings going from 75^th in line of the state’s best school systems to number 47.

No matter where you turn to look, you will be charmed by the beautiful New England style traditional homes that mostly dot the landscape of Maplewood, New Jersey. This is the perfect place to consider if you are looking at this area to buy a home. We are seeing a continued decline in the number of homes available, with 31% down from last year. With interest rates as low as they continue to be, this is a great time to invest in a home – and Maplewood is the perfect place!
