Let's work together to find you find your Dream Home!


A picturesque town in Essex County, Maplewood is located on the East Branch of the Rahway River. Originally consisting of farms, mills and orchards, Maplewood is now a great mix of residential and commercial areas, culminating in the jewel of a downtown village and coming together to create a charming, tight-knit and diversified community. Maplewood has predominantly Colonial and Tudor style homes with sprawling porches and ample greenery, but you can also find some Victorians and a range of more modern style construction on its beautiful tree lined streets. Maplewood is a diverse town with 6 elementary schools and prominent municipal building designed by famous architects, Guilbert and Betelle. In the center of town, famed landscape architects, the Olmstead Brothers, created the breathtaking Memorial Park; not to be overlooked is Ricalton Square, nestled between the train station and the downtown shopping; this area is frequently used for events including a Halloween Parade with hayrides and petting zoos, as well as featuring replica homes during the Winter Holiday Season. The town offers many activities to its residents from camps in the summer, arts and crafts classes, a public pool (with 4 pools ranging from a “baby” pool to toddler pool to large lap pool and a diving tank) and a farmers market when in season. There is even an annual musicalpalooza--Maplewoodstock—featuring a variety of bands and musical styles, showcasing local and national bands with booths for local businesses to set up. The Village, also known as Maplewood Center, is a quaint, downtown shopping district with everything from restaurants with foods from all over the world, bakeries, dance studios, gyms, bookstores, a movie theater and bookstores. With its large variety of cuisines to choose from, Maplewood recently started a yearly town-wide Restaurant Week with over 30 eateries participating. Easily accessible by its throughways and the New Jersey Transit, it's no surprise Maplewood has been ranked several times as one of the most desirable places to live in America by a number of surveys. Let's work together to find you your Dream Home!

November's Decluttering Guide: Get Ready for the Holidays with a Festive Refresh by Andrea Walker of Smartly Organized

Hello! 

The holiday season is just around the corner! ✨ Now’s the perfect time to get a head start on organizing and de-cluttering those holiday decorations so you can set up with ease and enjoy the season stress-free. Whether you’re planning a cozy get-together or simply looking forward to a beautifully decorated space, let’s make sure everything you keep adds to the holiday cheer!

Ready to get started? 

Here’s what to toss, donate, or recycle this month: Dated ribbons and bows (tired color schemes and all) Tired or worn-out wreaths Broken ornaments and any old, faded ornament boxes Tree boxes (consider switching to a tree bag for easy storage) Stained tablecloths and napkins Lights that flicker or have stopped working 

What to KEEP: Hold onto anything meaningful or classic, like family heirlooms, nativity scenes, and homemade ornaments that bring back memories. These items might be a bit worn, but they add a touch of nostalgia that new decor can’t replace. 

Here’s what you should ADD: Themed Trees – If you’re ready for a change, create a themed tree for a fresh holiday look! Divided Ornament Organizer – Keeps ornaments safe and organized for easy decorating year after year. Tree Bag – A convenient way to store your tree, minus the hassle of a bulky cardboard box.
