Roseland provides a wooded retreat about eight miles northwest of Newark. With its brick-paved sidewalks and historic storefronts, Roseland is a pretty community that entices residents to get out for a stroll. Consistently ranking as one of the best places to live in New Jersey, Roseland contains historic homes along tree-lined streets, easy commutes, and a fascinating history.
Dating back to 1702, Roseland was part of the Horseneck Tract of Essex County. Settlers were able to obtain the 14,000 acres from the Lenni Lenape for a trade of some goods that totaled about $325. Roseland was named in 1874 and it incorporated in 1908. Today, Roseland is known for its good schools, great parks, and easy access to Newark, via the highway or by bus.
After moving to Roseland, be sure to visit Becker Park, a large natural area that leads to Piker Hill Art Park, home to several unusual outdoor sculptures, and to Riker Hill Fossil Site, where you can view preserved dinosaur tracks and fossils. Egan Field provides sports fields and hiking, and Bond Force Memorial Park provides a shady playground. Essex Fells Country Club and Crestmont Country Club are on the southeast side of the neighborhood.
