Located at the foothills of the Watchung Mountains, just 27 miles from New York City, the township of Livingston covers a 14-square mile area. Well-kept homes and curving streets form graceful neighborhoods and create a family oriented community.

Livingston is known as an attractive place to live. This reputation can be traced to the housing: all single family homes ranging from modest Cape Cods to rambling Contemporaries. Housing prices range from $175,000 and climb into the million dollars plus category. New homes are being constructed at Bel Air, the former Kean Estate, and these start in the mid $600,000 range.

Livingston boasts a public school system known for its excellence and ranks with the best in the State. Approximately 95% of the student body goes on to college or other continuing education programs. Many of the students go on to study at Ivy League Universities.

Livingston is rich in recreational and cultural offerings, including a local symphony and orchestra, theatre company and art association. The library has more than 100,000 volumes and offers many programs to residents. In addition, the township sponsors activities in five parks and playgrounds, and has two municipal pools, ice-skating and tennis at 16 public courts.

Livingston is well known for its excellent shopping. The Livingston Mall and the small shops throughout the town can satisfy anyone’s need. In addition, Livingston is also the home of the well-respected St. Barnabas Medical Center.
