A residential community boasting the county's most abundant array of single-family homes, Union Township harmonizes lovely older homes along quiet tree-lined streets with contemporary suburban developments. Densely populated with a well-established community spirit, the township is home to some commerce and industry as well as Kean College of New Jersey. Retail establishments meet the needs of area residents, supplemented by nearby major malls. The attractive "college town" atmosphere is enhanced by abundant recreational amenities including a 40-acre conservation area, sports facilities, a golf course, tennis courts, swim clubs, and programs for all age groups.
