Pleasantdale blends quiet, leafy blocks with easy access to big-ticket amenities, set within West Orange in Essex County. Commuters appreciate straightforward connections via NJ TRANSIT, while local errands and weekend plans are handled along Pleasant Valley Way’s shops, cafes, and services.
Outdoors time comes naturally here. Families can spend a day at the award-winning Turtle Back Zoo, glide across the ice at Codey Arena, or explore miles of trails, waterfalls, and overlooks in the expansive South Mountain Reservation. History buffs find plenty to love too: America’s inventive spirit is on full display at the Thomas Edison National Historical Park, where the labs and archives that powered modern life are preserved. Local parks, playgrounds, and community programs round out a full calendar without leaving the neighborhood.
Education is a point of pride, with students served by West Orange Public Schools. Neighborhood elementary schools, dedicated middle grades, and a comprehensive high school offer strong academics, arts, and athletics, plus popular after-school and enrichment options. Housing ranges from mid-century split-levels to updated colonials and townhomes, giving first-time buyers and move-up households solid choices on quiet streets close to everything.
