Green Brook is truly green – a wooded landscape with large homes perched atop lush lawns define the town. Located about 30 miles southwest of Manhattan and 20 miles southwest of Newark, Green Brook provides the best of both worlds: the museums, nightlife, businesses, and theaters of New York City with the peaceful serenity of a rural suburb.
Living in Green Brook provides you access to some terrific parks. Washington Rock State Park once served as a lookout point during the American Revolution, and it is one of the state’s oldest parks. Green Brook Park includes a playground, a brook, and hiking trails. Top of the World Park provides tennis courts and a picnic pavilion, while Central Bark Park is a dog park with a track, a gazebo, and fresh water. For shopping and dining, you’ll find most options along Highway 22. Local favorites include Duck Donuts and Capital Craft, a popular gastropub.
