Situated on the western slope of the Watchung Mountains and an approximate one-hour train ride from Midtown Manhattan, New Providence is a small town with a lot of charm. Known for hilly tree-lined streets, beautiful parks, and outstanding schools, residents enjoy the feeling of community that comes from living in a small town while enjoying all the benefits of the New York City metropolitan area. Perfect for families, because of a number of excellent hiking trails, bike paths, fishing streams, observation blinds and other activities found in town or the surrounding area, including the 2,000+ acre historical Watchung Reservation, residents spend a lot of time outdoors. There is also an action packed social calendar thanks to an array of festivals, summer concert series, street fairs and the annual fishing derby.
