Maplewood’s Golf Island neighborhood is idyllic– made up of just a few tree-lined streets with little traffic and no “through streets.” The neighborhood is surrounded by the Maplewood Country Club’s golf course, where it gets its unique name. Many of the homes in this area have lovely views of the manicured golf course. Highly coveted for its proximity to Maplewood Village, Maplewood Middle School, the train station, schools, park, and library, Golf Island is very convenient and appealing for people seeking a pedestrian-oriented lifestyle.
The boundaries of the Golf Island neighborhood are Baker Street to the North, the Erie Lackawanna train tracks to the West, and the Maplewood Country Club to the East and South. It is also conveniently located to Millburn, Springfield, and Union, neighboring towns that are just a short drive away.
Much of the neighborhood is home to longtime residents and young families, including many former city dwellers.
The homes in the neighborhood are mostly a mix of traditional Colonials and Victorians that range in price from $1-$2 million. Our listing at 60 S. Mountain Ave. is a great example of a Golf Island neighborhood home.
Some of the benefits to living in the Golf Island neighborhood are:
In sum, location and lifestyle make Golf Island one of the town’s most popular places to live.
