Town Information
Short Hills is an unincorporated community as well as a census-designated place located within Millburn Township. Just because it is not officially a city, does not mean it falls short when it comes to a place to live. Stewart Hartshorn, who invented the self-acting shade roller, purchased land that would become Short Hills, named after what the Lenape Native Americans described the area as. He wanted to create a community for people who shared common interests and appreciated nature, where they could live together in harmony, close to the city. Short Hills attracts many and is home to an affluent community of 13,165 that reside on 5.211 square miles. Time magazine named it “The Richest Town in America” in 2014, having seven out of ten households with an income of more than $150,000 a year.
Being a wealthier town, buyers can expect most homes for sale to be in the 1 million dollar and higher range including mostly single-family homes and few townhouses and condos.
