Real Estate in Summit features a variety of offerings, larger Colonials with charming front porches, restored bungalows, penthouse condominiums, and a mix of mid-century homes in Cape Cod, ranch and split-level styles. And at the top of the market, home buyers will find stately brick mansions, vintage Victorians and newly constructed luxury homes for sale.
