Moving to Union
Union is one of the fastest growing counties in New Jersey thanks to its relative proximity to New York City and serves as a transition point between Central and North Jersey regions. It has a lot to offer from quaint downtown areas, cultural institutions, and beautiful parks.
While it might not be the largest in area or population, Union County has a lot to offer its residents. You can walk through the charming downtown areas of Westfield, Summit, and Cranford for some great local restaurants and shipping. If you prefer a small town vibe, the downtown of Fanwood offers a cute area that hosts a variety of events and fairs throughout the year.
Before or after your trip to downtown, check out the various outdoor activities. Head over to Rahway River Park and enjoy the various sports fields, playgrounds, and tracks or just enjoy a relaxing picnic. Or go to Wachtung Reservation for some great hiking trails and then stop by the Trailside Nature and Science Center and explore the discovery room, media center, or take part in one of the many workshops
