Greetings,

Glen Ridge is a dynamic, diverse, and thriving small community, situated in a historical setting -- a truly special place in which to live!
Located in the heart of Essex County, we are a walkable and bikeable community with easy access to New York City by car, bus or train. Visitors to Glen Ridge are greeted by lovely gas lamp lit, tree-lined streets and well-maintained historic homes.

Beyond its ambience, Glen Ridge is noted for its excellent, highly rated school system, a police department committed to providing a quality service to our residents through the cultivation of community partnerships and mutual respect, and a library, on the leading edge of service and technology, which provides all our residents a place to learn, discover and grow.

Our community is enhanced not only by the professionalism of our administrators and staff, but also by the hundreds of resident volunteers who contribute their efforts to over 25 boards, agencies and other organizations that provide valuable community services, with a neighborly and caring touch, covering almost every facet of life in the Borough. We are proud to have an award-winning Shade Tree Commission and obtaining "Silver Status" from Sustainable Jersey several years in a row.

On behalf of myself and the Borough Council, who shares my commitment to fostering a welcoming and inclusive community, thank you for taking time to learn more about our wonderful community.
