"I love living and working in Summit, NJ. I own a shop in Summit and live on the Summit/New Providence border. Downtown Summit has so much to offer. There is very easy access to delightful and creative shops (including mine, Badawang Art) casual and fine restaurants both, and of course, all the necessities such as banks, services, and entertainment options are only a few of the amenities. I can walk or drive to all of these, or I can take the train to New York seven days a week right from Summit. The community is diverse and always changing. Summit has beautiful homes, a well maintained downtown, easy access to all the surrounding suburbs, New York City and the Jersey Shore."  Carol Schoffman, Badawang Art, Summit, NJ.

Summit, is many other things, among them it is the birthplace of Meryl Streep.  There are stately homes and cozier, charming ones.  There are a variety of opportunities for those who prefer condo living.  Because of its very fine schools, pristine and attractive downtown and winding streets, and, it's proximity and ease of getting to Jersey City and Manhattan, this town remains desirable no matter what.  Even in times of economic downturn, the down part is gentler here.  The cost of living is high, but the town does deliver on services and opportunities.  With nearly 8,000 households with average incomes of $191,444, this is an affluent community.
