Families Recreate Downtown Summit — LEGO Block by Lego Block
This past Sunday, 50 families joined together at Washington School’s gymnasium in Summit New Jersey to participate in the 6th Annual Architectural Workshop recreating downtown Summit out of LEGO blocks. Truly unbelievable to think of a huge map of downtown Summit highlighting streets and historic buildings and over 50,000 colorful LEGO squares and rectangles being assembled to replicate this beautiful town. Each one unique and truly a work of art!
The event is organized as a fundraiser for the Summit Historical Society, a membership organization created to preserve and disseminate information about Summit’s rich heritage. Read more
It’s Time to Think Summer – Local Camp Resource Guide for Our NJ Midtown Direct Communities
The dog days of winter are here!! But I’m thinking spring– longer days, green lawns and the first signs of budding trees and flowers. It’s such a pretty time here in our New Jersey Midtown Direct communities. It makes me think of all the great spring and summer resources like our fabulous farmer’s markets, summer concerts and festivals. And come to think of it, summer is only 5 months away and many parents are now combing through the yellow pages and kids resources for the best area summer camps. Read more

Work in NYC? 10 Reasons why you should commute from New Jersey.
10 Reasons why you should move from Manhattan to our awesome New Jersey towns….
1. NJ Transit- Midtown Direct Train gets you into New York Penn Station in 25-50 minutes from South Orange, Maplewood, Millburn, Short Hills, Summit. After Summit, the trainline branches off to: Chatham, Madison, Convent Station… and the other branch heads to New Providence and Berkeley Heights…. If you click on link above, you will see parking options whether you live in one of these towns or one of the surrounding towns. Need to commute to downtown to the financial district? Just take the train to Hoboken, and then the path or ferry.
Oh, did I mention that there is valet parking at the Millburn train station, and that there is a jitney bus to get you to and from the Maplewood & South Orange train stations during morning and evening rush hours?

NJ midtown direct area Kindergarten programs
What local New Jersey school districts offer full day kindergarten? This is a question that comes up time and time again as we get to know our relocation buyers with young children. We thought it would be helpful to post a compiled list of the full day, half day and before and after care programs offered by our public school systems.*There is the unfortunate reality that some of these full day programs may be at risk due to budget cuts so we would recommend checking with the specific school districts.*

Where The Boys Are
Where The Boys Are
By Robin Benjamin, Buyer Specialist – Sue Adler Team
In my last blog I “sang” The times they are a changin’.” In this one, it’s “Where The Boys Are.”No, I’m not going through a mid-life crisis, or reminicing about the “good old days.” While the nation debates school vouchers and the decline of public education, I’m reflecting on the kids that graduate from the Millburn/Short Hills school system. Not only has our system been rated as one of New Jersey’s best, but most of our kids graduate with something that only a great educational environment can provide. Character. As a mother of two Millburn graduates – one a scholar the other a scholar/ athlete, but neither perfect – I constantly see proof of this character as I run into kids I’ve known for years. Good kids. Polite kids. Confident kids. And often very loyal kids.
On a recent foray into NYC to watch a football game with my youngest son, a Penn State graduate, I dreaded sitting by myself in his favorite pub. That dread soon turned to joy as Read more
