A large New York suburb with the timeless feel of a small town

Suburb Commuter Safe Low Crime Historic River

Located fifteen miles northwest of New York City, Nutley is a fairly large township of around 30,000 people on the banks of the Passaic River. The close proximity to NYC makes Nutley a popular choice among commuters, who are often drawn to the area’s quiet neighborhood streets and small-town vibe. Franklin Avenue serves as the backbone of Nutley’s Downtown district, lined with a rich assortment of locally-owned restaurants and specialty shops in a walkable layout. Just north of town, a cluster of larger shopping centers offers more big-box options as well as the local multiplex theater. The greenbelt following Third River as it flows through town provides a beautiful area for you to enjoy the tranquility of nature, within a short walk of almost anywhere in the community.
