It seems as if Martin absolutely refuses to campaign to the point where she sent out an instagram message reminding the candidate that lawn signs and instagram posts don’t vote. Voters vote but he refuses to get in front of residents other than a few small chit chats. Terrible candidate.. Vote De Luca/ Sullivan, hard work matters.
If there’s anything about Maplewood, it’s the sheer amount of families who move here from Brooklyn, namely wealthy hipster neighborhoods like Williamsburg and Park Slope. Many people in these parts of Brooklyn aspire to move to Maplewood when they reach their 30s and 40s, yet really aren’t that interested in other NJ suburbs. The people in this town seem to have a different vibe than other suburbs, even other wealthy, more progressive suburbs like Montclair or Ridgewood or Westfield or Morristown, and it’s because many are from Brooklyn and not NJ. It’s also very much reflected in the housing market where many single family homes have appreciated 100-120% since 10 years ago. How did this come to be?
Hi all! For anyone looking/needing daycare, OLS nursery in south orange is amazing. The teachers are wonderful and the community we have built is incredible. Sadly we were all informed that the church voted to shut down the daycare effective at the end of June claiming it loses money. Not enough infants. Etc. The teachers weren’t informed until yesterday either.
To anyone that needs a nursery, I recommend you reach out asap. To the church and the nursery. If we get an overwhelming response we may be able to save the program. I know it was nearly impossible to find a good daycare when we moved 3 years ago. This place has been perfect until now.
Perhaps even alumni reaching out to Rev Brian Needles would help.

I was told he quit? Isn't he a bit young for that? Family wealth? I know his opponents include a trial attorney and a retiree so I understand their finances but how is this man able to run without a source of income? Further to my point, what young man quits a job with a family? Perhaps he sees this TC thing as a stepping stone to a career in politics? If so, how quickly will he try to move on to something better?
Just curios on status if this developer is seriously being allowed to buy a house demolish it cut down old growth tree and build 2 new houses just to permit and not even live in the house? Wild this is being allowed by the Twp. Or the planning board etc. This should be protested and shut down ASAP. Greed to benefit only one person not the town.
Can anyone recommend the agents they used? My wife and I are looking to buy in SOMA leaning towards South Orange but appreciate the markets operate together in a lot of ways.
Also, has anyone built an ADU? I read that they are approved but curious if anyone has been successful with this. My Mother In Law has will be moving with us eventually. Just looking for people with experience.
Does anyone have recommend coworking spaces in the South Orange/ Maplewood/ Millburn area? Would like to be able to break the work from home cycle and find a place to work without having to schlep into the city to a Wework. I know there are a few in the area, but was wondering if anyone had any recommendations. Thanks!
I live in South Orange, so take this with a grain of salt — but looking at houses currently in contract and recent closings over the past few months, it really seems like SO is priced lower than Maplewood on a comparable basis.
Assuming the gap is real and not just my bias showing, I have to think there’s eventually a tipping point where buyers catch on and that pendulum swings back toward South Orange. Has anyone else noticed this in the data, or am I missing something?
