The Short Hills EWR Advantage — Fastest Airport Connection in NJ
Short Hills is arguably the best-positioned affluent suburb in all of New Jersey for Newark Liberty access. I-78 east puts you at EWR Terminal A, B, or C in 15–25 minutes under normal conditions — faster than residents of Alpine, Saddle River, or even many parts of Summit. For frequent business travelers, this translates directly into later wake-up times and less pre-trip stress. Detailed Drivers times your departure to the minute based on your airline, terminal, and TSA PreCheck or Clear status.
Short Hills is an unincorporated community within Millburn Township, Essex County — there is no separate Short Hills municipality. The name refers to the upscale residential neighborhood west of the downtown Millburn area, bounded roughly by Hobart Avenue, JFK Parkway, and the Short Hills Country Club grounds. The area is characterized by large Tudor Revival, Colonial, and contemporary custom homes on generous lots with mature tree coverage throughout.
Opened in 1961 and renovated multiple times, the Mall at Short Hills is a two-level luxury shopping center on JFK Parkway anchored by Nordstrom, Neiman Marcus, Bloomingdale's, and Macy's. The mall draws regional visitors from a 30-mile radius and serves as the community's primary retail identity. Parking is ample but the experience is far superior with a chauffeur waiting at any entrance.
Millburn Township School District is one of New Jersey's highest-ranked public school systems — Millburn High School consistently places in the state's top 10. The district's reputation is a primary driver of Short Hills real estate demand, and many families relocate specifically to access the schools.
