About the Cranford, New Jersey
Area
Cranford is a lovely town that is known for its picturesque walking areas. One of the more popular spots to have a calm relaxing walk or jog is along the trail through Nomahegan Park. The beautiful parks in Cranford also offer pleasant bike trails for those who like to peddle. Cranford provides good schools, a local train station, and recreational facilities.
LOCATION
Lying against the border of Westfield, and in the heart of Union County sits the small town of Cranford. With a population of approximately 23,000, Cranford is roughly 5 square miles, which includes beautiful parklands that occupy close to 415 acres. The town of Cranford is a short commute to New York City, and is within five miles of Scotch Plains, Westfield, Elizabeth, and Garwood. Cranford is conveniently located close to the major roadways of I-78, U.S.-9, and U.S.-22, for easy travel.
SPECIAL ATTRACTIONS
Cranford offers quite a few different programs for youth, adults, and teenagers. For the youth of the community, Cranford has a Mad Science Summer Club, Multi-Sport Camp, and Town Tennis. Cranford also has programs for adults that include Yoga, Tennis, and Basketball. In addition to the children's and adult programs, there are activities available for the enjoyment of the teenagers. Cranford has programs and events such as High School Teen Center, Summer Concerts, and a Summer High School Dance. The town of Cranford is truly a family oriented community.
A BRIEF HISTORY
The history of Cranford started a little later than most of the towns in Union County. The reason is that Cranford had no modern means of travel until 1838, when the Elizabethtown and Somerville Railroad finally made Cranford accessible to New York City. In 1871 Cranford was declared a township.
The most important of the many historic buildings in Cranford is the 1740 Williams Droescher Mill. Now owned by a messenger service and being used as an office building, the Williams Droescher Mill is the oldest, constantly operated commercial building in New Jersey.
Since Cranford was developed around the Rahway River, the river is integral to the town. It is now the only place in Union County where you can rent a canoe. The canoe rides are very enjoyable due to the pleasant scenery and the opportunity to see the homes that were built back in the Colonial and Victorian era. The Rahway River is used all year-round. Canoes glide down stream in the summer and in the winter when it freezes the river becomes an ice skaters paradise. 
Selling Your Home >Selling Selling Sold
Although your real estate agent is responsible for marketing your property, it requires a joint effort to get your home sold.
How can you empower your agent? It is very important that you feel absolutely confident in your agent's ability to produce results--no matter what the market is like in your area! This may sound like stating the obvious, but it is important to let your real estate agent know you trust them to get the job done. Support that trust by putting a realistic price tag on the property and keeping it in prime showing condition. Work out showing agreements that will make it easy for agents to preview or show your home. Meet periodically to discuss any feedback from buyers who have seen your home to determine how you can improve its appeal.
Don't hesitate to share any ideas you may have about marketing your home. I will try anything that works, and have received some very good suggestions from clients.
