Its a wonderful town. I grew up here and still live here. Its great! The schools are good. They have lots of support for people with learning disabilities now (They did not when I went through Lincoln Hubbard Elementary, 2000-2005) Summit has amazing restaurants as well.
It is a charming and lovely little town that has an incredible school system. The people are always friendly and willing to give a helping hand. In our downtown, we have many restaurants and a couple of fine dining establishments. Along with that, we have a train station and its only 45 minutes from Penn station, great for working in the cities. Our parks are wonderfully clean and safe, the houses are beautiful that surround the parks. We have a YMCA that is in the downtown area it has many classes going on and amazing gym amenities. We have a beautiful public pool with two big slides, one diving board, a kidding pool, a snack bar, a playground, a basketball court, and a huge pool. When you visit or live in Summit NJ you will never find yourself bored and or with nothing to do.
Amazing schools with a very low crime rate. The most crime you see is someone hitting a pet or jaywalking. But, housing is extremely expensive, and there is not that much to do during the night except to eat out at a fancy restaurant. Summit is run by many small businesses so job opportunities can be rather restrictive
