Fanwood (07023) is a leafy Union County pocket with a charming, historic NJ Transit station on the Raritan Valley Line, making it commuter friendly while keeping a small-town feel. Tree-lined streets, LaGrande and Forest Road parks, and quick access to Watchung Reservation offer abundant green space, trails, and weekend sports; pet owners appreciate easy walks and the nearby Echo Lake Park dog area. The scene centers on South Avenue with indie cafés, pizzerias, and Sheelen’s Crossing, while groceries and errands are simple with Trader Joe’s in Westfield, ShopRite of Garwood, ACME in Scotch Plains, Clark Commons, and the Fanwood–Scotch Plains YMCA and local fitness studios close by. Expect four true seasons—colorful falls and snowy winters—and mostly quiet evenings with occasional concerts and the Fanny Wood Day street fair. According to recent Zillow Market Trends, median asking rent has hovered in the low $3,000s over the past few months, with most rentals about $2,200–$3,800/month.
