Reasons Why Berkeley Heights is the Perfect Place to Raise a Family

happy mother and daughter

Berkeley Heights is where professionals go to escape the hustle and bustle of the Big Apple. It also happens to be one of the most family-friendly boroughs in New Jersey.

Raise your growing brood in this idyllic town. Come home to a serene environment after a long day at work. Berkeley Heights lets you have it all, and more.

Here’s why you should pack your bags and move to town:

  1. It consistently ranks among the best NJ towns
    In August 2017, New Jersey Monthly Magazine ranked Berkeley Heights 6th among the best places to live in the state. But it’s not the township’s first time in the rankings – it landed the 6th spot in Money Magazine “Best Small Town to Live in the United States” in 2013, due in part to a flourishing dining scene and a robust job market.
  2. It’s within driving distance of New York City
    Those who work and play in the Big Apple would be happy to know that NYC is within commuting distance. Professionals can expect to get to Manhattan in 50 minutes or so. This makes it possible for you to build your career or your business in NYC while at the same time come home to your family in Berkeley Heights each night.
  3. There are major employers in the area
    The township is home to the Alcatel- Lucent headquarters, a major employer in the area. It brings you close to pharmaceutical companies like Vertice Pharma, Chugai Pharma, and Cyclacel Pharmaceuticals. With so many corporations nearby, Berkeley Heights residents have stellar career opportunities.
  4. The school system is superb
    Niche.com included Governor Livingston High School and New Providence High School in its 2017 list of best public high schools in New Jersey. The rankings are based on a student-teacher ratio, SAT/ACT scores, and other factors. The NJ Department of Education also rated more than half of Berkeley Heights and New Providence teachers “highly effective” for the 2015-2016 school year.

    That means your child’s education is in good hands. Move to town and watch them thrive in a supportive and stimulating school environment.

  5. The housing market has much to offer
    Choose from an excellent selection of single-family homes, townhomes, and condos. Luxury homes with as many as seven bedrooms are also available. No matter your housing needs, Berkeley Heights real estate has something to offer.

    Pagnotta Homes can guide you through the housing market. Call them at 908.436.7947 or send an email to Info@PagnottaHomes.com.

  6. It has a small town feel
    Berkeley Heights brings you big city conveniences in a small town setting. Raise your family in an environment where there’s a strong sense of community, and neighbors know each other by name. Seasonal events and community classes will give you and your kids plenty of opportunities to meet new people.
  7. There’s a lot of greenery
    You’ll find well-maintained parks along Hamilton and Snyder Avenues. These parks offer open spaces and play structures where your kids can work off excess energy. Go jogging or biking in a park near your home, or play Frisbee.
