The Neighborhood
Founded in 1794, Springfield is one of New Jersey’s most historic townships, as well as one of the few honored with an A+ ranking by Niche Magazine. Home to approximately 19,000 people, our tranquil community is distinguished by safe, shady streets, multiple parks and recreation areas. Enhancing the appeal of our pastoral setting to busy singles, couples and families, Springfield benefits from the amenities integral to enjoying all aspects of Modern Orthodox Jewish life, including our own Mikvah Yisroel, Jewish day schools and numerous kosher eateries and grocery stores.
Springfield is readily accessible to all New Jersey’s major highways, multiple NJ Transit and Amtrak stations, and Newark Liberty International Airport—and it is a short drive away from major medical centers, The Mall at Short Hills, and numerous stores and service providers.
Equally important, Springfield offers CIS members a wide array of housing options, from garden apartments, to condominiums, to private homes—at every price point within our Eruv and easy walking distance to our Shul.
Among the other amenities Springfield Township offers are jitney service to the Short Hills NJ Transit train station; a municipal pool; free concerts, movie nights and community nights out; street fairs and other communal celebrations.
