Picking Apples and the Right Home for You
This is one of my favorite times of the year to be in New Jersey. So, if its time to cross the Hudson, come pick some apples and a home!
One of my favorite things to do in New Jersey at this time of year is to go apple picking while enjoying the kaleidoscope of colors on the trees as the leaves turn to such brilliant hues. I usually head to the Chester or Washington Township areas and my excursion always includes a trip to one of my traditional haunts in Hacklebarney Cider Mill and Farm to enjoy some apple cider hot dogs and apple cider donuts.
There are an amazing 55 pick your own apples farms in the area and here is a link: pickyourown.farm/farms/chester-nj/apples/ This is a great time to stock up on apples to back some pies or any other apple inspired baked goods. There are hayrides, corn mazes, pumpkin picking and so may other things you can do. So, I recommend you come out early to start your day, pick you apples and pumpkins, have an apple cider hot dog and donut, then head back to Maplewood, NJ where you can step in an amazingly renovated home with an open floor plan, four bedrooms on one floor, 3 full baths and one powder room, covering three finished areas and a wonderful back yard for local entertaining.

A picturesque town in Essex County, Maplewood is located on the East Branch of the Rahway River. Originally consisting of farms, mills and orchards, Maplewood is now a great mix of residential and commercial areas, culminating in the jewel of a downtown village and coming together to create a charming, tight-knit and diversified community. Maplewood has predominantly Colonial and Tudor style homes with sprawling porches and ample greenery, but you can also find some Victorians and a range of more modern style construction on its beautiful tree lined streets.
Maplewood is a diverse town with 6 elementary schools and prominent municipal building designed by famous architects, Guilbert and Betelle. In the center of town, famed landscape architects, the Olmstead Brothers, created the breathtaking Memorial Park; not to be overlooked is Ricalton Square, nestled between the train station and the downtown shopping; this area is frequently used for events including a Halloween Parade with hayrides and petting zoos, as well as featuring replica homes during the Winter Holiday Season. The town offers many activities to its residents from camps in the summer, arts and crafts classes, a public pool (with 4 pools ranging from a “baby” pool to toddler pool to large lap pool and a diving tank) and a farmers market when in season. There is even an annual musicalpalooza--Maplewoodstock—featuring a variety of bands and musical styles, showcasing local and national bands with booths for local businesses to set up.
The Village, also known as Maplewood Center, is a quaint, downtown shopping district with everything from restaurants with foods from all over the world, bakeries, dance studios, gyms, bookstores, a movie theater and bookstores. With its large variety of cuisines to choose from, Maplewood recently started a yearly town-wide Restaurant Week with over 30 eateries participating.
Easily accessible by its throughways and the New Jersey Transit, it's no surprise Maplewood has been ranked several times as one of the most desirable places to live in America by a number of surveys.
