Located between the first and second chain of the Watchung Mountains, Cedar Grove shares a similar history with nearby Verona Township. Residents enjoy the atmosphere and friendliness of a small town, infused with all the energy and cultural excitement of nearby Montclair and New York City. Approximately two-thirds of Cedar Grove is devoted to residential development, blending colonials, ranch-style, and split-level homes with townhomes and condominiums. New construction in this area tends to be upscale, and the entire community is committed to a tree-planting program. Nearby Verona shares many of Cedar Grove’s demographics and supports a variety of manufacturers, including the producer of the flag that marked man’s first steps on the moon’s surface. Covering 545 acres, Verona Park is part of the county system and offers many recreational facilities including a 13-acre lake and a boat house. Transportation efficiencies include Interstates 80 and 280, Routes 24 and 46, the Garden State Parkway, the New Jersey Turnpike, and bus service to New York City.
