Living in Nutley for the past 12 years has been just wonderful. Moving here was one of the best decision we have ever made. Nutley is extremely safe and well insulated. It is a picturesque town that is absolutely beautiful, very friendly, has that small, old town feel and is just bursting with charm and character. We reside in the Spring Garden section, which we have found to be the nicest, most friendly part of town by far. The school system is excellent as well. A nice touch for us was that kids can safely walk to school and actually come home for lunch. Something that is almost unheard of nowadays. We have many, many fond memories of those special lunches with our son and daughter. Nutley has a fabulous parks system, 5 in all that are connected by a lovely river that is abundant with ducks and geese. Memorial park has a lovely lake that is host to the annual fishing contest for children. So nice. If you like birds we have them all! I have become something of a bird watcher since moving here simply because it can't be avoided with the abundance of varied species that make Nutley their home. So beautiful. The people here are very friendly, neighborly and very down to earth. If you love historic architecture you will find an abundance of it here. Many homes were built by renowned architect William A. Lambert and all are all absolutely stunning. Consider yourself lucky if you are able to get your hands on one! The town host many events that bring residents together. My favorites include our Christmas tree lighting, which includes chestnut roasting, Santa, reindeer and gifts for all of the children and the July 4th fireworks. Nutley offers just about everything you might be looking for with the exception of a commuter train which IMO is a very good thing if you think about it... towns with trains tend to have crime and transients which are two things that are almost non-existent here. If you are searching for a little slice of heaven and looking to put down some roots you can't go wrong with Nutley.
