Welcome— learn more about Maplewood and South Orange NJ. At the Community Coalition, we are a non-profit organization of local residents who are passionate about our towns.

We are not realtors; we are good neighbors who would welcome you to share our communities.

Here’s your next move—

First: Explore our website, click on Lifestyle, Arts, Schools and Homes to discover what makes our towns so special—to us and to visitors.

Second: Take a tour. Our residents love to show prospective residents our community features. Coalition volunteers will take you and your family on a guided one-hour tour. You’ll see our beautiful neighborhoods, lovely homes, splendid schools, the variety of worship opportunities and our spacious and plentiful parks and recreation facilities. No car? Just let us know when you’re arriving and we’ll pick you up at the NJ Transit train stations in Maplewood or South Orange. To schedule a tour, just let us know a week in advance so we can arrange a tour guide.

Third: Meet a local realtor. If you need help, we can suggest local real estate offices that are intimately familiar with our communities.

Fourth: Speak to a neighbor. Once you’ve found the home of your dreams, we’ll be delighted to introduce you to someone who lives in that area, capable of answering any questions you may have.

All right, we may as well admit it—we’re not exactly objective about our towns. Of course, we believe they’re among the best-kept secret, choice communities in the metro area, but we’re always eager to share our hometowns with expectant newcomers.
