Tucked away in a comfortable area in Union County, New Jersey, Berkeley Heights has consistently ranked among the country’s top places to live. A friendly, mid-sized town with a rich history dating back to 1851, the city is an ideal mixture of small town hospitality with urban amenities.
For families looking to move into the city, it’s conveniently located near Newark, which provides a major airport hub. At the same time, the city retains the comfort and small town feel that has made Berkeley Heights famous. With just over 13,000 people, the community is close-knit, and Mayor Cohen has made efforts to reach out to new families to help them integrate into city life.
The city features a diversity of local businesses and services, and is home to large employers ranging from the Bank of America to Alcatel-Lucent’s Murray Hill Bell Labs research center. Easy access to municipal services ranging from a dedicated Summit Hospital to the city’s Public Library, Recreational and Emergency services has helped Berkeley Heights to earn a rating as one of America’s “most livable” cities.
