About West Orange, NJ

Sprawling West Orange, NJ offers open space, houses ranging from bungalows to newly-built modern ranch houses, and a bustling Main Street where Thomas A. Edison built his laboratory and, in 1886, his Glenmont estate with its beautiful red-stone mansion. Today West Orange includes the popular Turtle Back Zoo, which is next to the Richard Codey Ice Arena, where the NJ Devils Hockey Team practices. Residents love the mix of old fashioned establishments like a large bowling alley, next to an authentic New Jersey Diner and two sweeping County Reservations within Township lines. Just 20 miles from Manhattan, the town provides jitney service to midtown direct train stations in nearby Orange and South Orange, NJ.
