New Providence is a wonderful place to live! Quality of life here is very high due to the proximity to NYC, excellent public and private schools, world class shopping, several restaurants and small businesses. There are 2 NJ Transit Train Stations in New Providence. Many hiking trails are also nearby in the Watchung Reservation, Great Swamp and Loantaka Brook Reservation. The New Providence Community Pool is a local favorite, as well as Crestview Swim and Tennis Club.
A nice town with some important positives like access to NYC and well- connected to major highways. The population has become more diverse but not reflected in town leadership or general discourse. Schools are good really riding on past glories, they need serious capital investment or the students will be left behind.
New Providence is an awesome town to live in and particularly to raise a family in. There is a real sense of community here, it is safe, and most people are friendly. The only downside is the options for nightlife, there are very few. The downtown area is small and everything seems to shut down by 9pm, with only 2 or 3 restaurant/bars staying open past then. However, the benefits of living here definitely outweigh the lack of entertainment.
