Why live in Orange, NJ?
Orange was once a place where weary travelers found a place to rest as they traveled east and west. What they have left behind was a town with a rich industrial history, including hat makers, breweries, shoemakers, and tanners. They left behind buildings representative of a time when the region was a beacon of manufacturing excellence. It is a town of well-maintained homes and with its status change to township in 1982, it has been able to bring in the Federal assistance necessary to rebuild and revitalize areas in need of improvement. Moving to Orange now is the best decision in light of the improvements that are being made for its future.
