Conveniently situated in the heart of the expansive New Jersey-New York metropolitan region, Nutley Township is just 20 miles west of Manhattan. The community is bordered by three major highways: Route 3 to the north, the Garden State Parkway to the west, and Route 21 to the east. Situated on the west banks of the Passaic River, Nutley offers a well-established community with a strong foundation of tranquil neighborhoods and primarily owner-occupied housing. Industry tends to be limited, although a convenient central shopping area is expanded by several smaller business districts. The presence of a 28-acre county park within the community ensures open space, scenic beauty, and expanded recreational opportunities and provides an ideal complement to well-managed sports and athletic facilities. Commuters can take advantage of bus service to New York City and Newark.
