Fanwood, New Jersey is a fascinating little suburb in the middle, or central part of New Jersey. It is a nice town to live in if you are thinking of starting a family, and make a moderate or higher income. It is a good town for commuters because there is a train station in the center of the town, and many bus lines. It shares a school district with the neighboring town, Scotch Plains. There are also many nighttime, and fun activities in the neighboring towns, no more then 10 minutes away. The real estate prices are higher, and so are the taxes, but it is a very safe and suburban town and good for the price.
My husband and I recently moved to Fanwood, NJ. We absolutely love it. It is a small town, safe, quiet, the people are so friendly (we couldn’t have better neighbors), great schools, great location, easily accessible to NYC. Seriously, it is the best place to live.
We love our little “best” small town in NJ. Amazing Neigbor’s, friendly town feel. Excellent place to raise kids and raise your family. Safe, quant, refreshing suburb indeed. You’ll feel right at home.
