    "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.
