Now, more than ever, New Yorkers are moving out of their NYC apartments and finding fulfilling real estate outside of the city limits. Apartments in areas like Orange are a welcome refuge for those looking for additional open space inside and outside of their new home. With Highland Station on the Morris-Essex train line within steps of The Hermitage, it has become a popular location for anyone that needs to commute east or west for work and school. The oversized apartments also provide enough space to feel comfortable with working from home, taking online classes or even raising a family. These apartments and our neighboring community The Majestic at 466 Highland Avenue are becoming prime realty locations in the greater Essex area. A larger floor plan has numerous benefits for residents: in a more open space, more belongings can be easily within reach, instead of locked away in storage. Professionals can easily convert extra space into a home office, and enthusiasts can create the perfect space for their craft or hobby. Many of the apartments, now available throughout the Benjamin H Realty portfolio, feature park views that give the natural beauty that is elusive in more urban environments. These apartments are among the most popular apartments in the area as it's a perfect location for explorers, travelers and residents eager to get the most out of life. The convenient location is a short drive from both downtown Orange and downtown South Orange offering a wide variety of shopping and dining options. The Hermitage's spacious floorplans make us an affordable option for off campus housing as well for students and staff at Seton Hall University.
