    "Somewhat close to NY. For the taxes we pay we should get much more from the city. Roads are under construction but don’t seem to improve. Bus system terrible, for kids should be door to door for local schools."

    "Millburn/Short Hills has character - hosting pre-revolutionary homes to modern mansions along with substantial public park land. Millburn arguably has the best school district in NJ as rated by the state and many independent publications and is one of the top in the nation. It also has outstanding private schools. Activities for children are numerous through the schools and township recreation department. Cultural activities are abundant, with the in-town Papermill Playhouse (NJ state theater) and nearby towns offering world-class entertainment. Transportation is excellent with NJ Transit trains providing quick commuting to mid-town and lower Manhattan, and Newark Airport only 20 minutes away. Shopping areas include a downtown and the renowned Mall at Short Hills. "
