There's a lot thriving in Maplewood, NJ! 

Recently, a resident of Maplewood, NJ grew an Asian Persimmon.  With time and a little bit of know-how, a gardener can grow the most amazing fruits, even in unexpected places. Author Lee Reich wrote of this in Almanac Weekly, explaining how a friend in Maplewood, NJ managed to plant and grow an Asian persimmon in spite of the cold weather. The Jiro variety of persimmon tree that the author's friend grew in Maplewood produced a bunch of fruit this year, proving that, although not as cold-hearty as other varieties of persimmons, this Mediterranean native doesn't mind making a home in New Jersey.

The Jiro tree isn't the only thing thriving in Maplewood, NJ.  Maplewood has become one of the best sought out destinations for many people needing a short commute into NYC (just 30 minutes.) In particular, many people from Brooklyn and Manhattan are moving to Maplewood in droves because it's more affordable, offers more space - a home, yard and a sense of community. With six parks and plenty of space for activities such as picnics, hiking, jogging, horseback riding and cross country skiing, there's plenty of outdoor space for Maplewood residents to grow and thrive in. Small stores, specialty shops and tranquil neighborhoods give the city a small town feel, yet its close proximity to New York City make it a perfect and serene option for the NYC commuter to call home.  

Like the Jiro tree, everyone moving to Maplewood, NJ sees an opportunity to start new roots and hopefully call it their home for many years.  If you're considering a move to the Maplewood, NJ area, I'd love to show you the best of what this community has to offer.   And with many different price ranges Maplewood offers something more everyone.  Contact me today for more information.
