2010 Top NJ Schools Along Midtown Direct
September 1st, 2010 Categories: Buying a Home in NJ, Chatham Living, Education in NJ, Summit Living
Once again, Millburn High School is ranked #1 in New Jersey Monthly’s Bi-Annual Survey of High Schools in the State.
Other towns along and adjacent to the Midtown Direct Train line into New York City and Manhattan were also in the top tier:
1 Millburn
5 New Providence
8 Chatham
15 Madison
22 Livingston
24 Governor Livinston (Berkeley Heights)
25 Summit
40 Jonathan Dayton (Springfield)
41 Westfield
Millburn High School has maintained their #1 rank…not surprising given the statistics and the fact that 29 graduates of the Class of 2010 are starting at Ivy League Schools this semester: Brown-1; Columbia-3; Cornell-8; Dartmouth-1; Harvard-4; Princeton-4; University of Pennsylvania-7; Yale-1.
Having lived in Short Hills my whole life, a graduate of Millburn High School myself (back in the day!) and with two children recently graduated MHS (both are at Vanderbilt) I could not be more thrilled.

Summit Real Estate 2009 Year in Review
February 8th, 2010 Categories: Buying a Home in NJ, Selling A Home in NJ, Summit Living
Summit NJ - Real Estate Trends - 2009 Year in Review
It was quite a year in real estate for Summit, NJ.
Not surprisingly, the higher end homes took longer to sell
while the most movement in home sales was
found at the lower (well for Summit anyway) priced homes.
Based on the records from the Garden State MLS,
the average selling price in 2009 was $930,999
(just 4% off 2008 prices.)
Buyers should be happy tho’,
as sales prices were at 98% of final listing price…
sellers and their agents are now much more in tuned
with right pricing here in Summit.
