Things to do in Short Hills after the move

Planning to put down roots in Short Hills this year? The good news is that the transition can go far more smoothly than you might expect, and once the last carton is unpacked, a genuinely charming corner of New Jersey is waiting for you. Below, our crews walk you through a few of the best ways to spend your free time around town once you have settled in.

Give yourself room to settle first

Relocating does not have to feel overwhelming. With a bit of planning and a dependable team beside you, the whole process tends to fall into place quickly, letting you open a fresh chapter without the usual stress. That said, be realistic with yourself. Getting used to any new address takes a little while, and that is completely normal.

You probably will not be out sightseeing on your first day. The opening order of business is clearing away those boxes and turning the property into a comfortable place for everyone under your roof. Work through the unpacking at a steady pace, give each room a proper cleaning, and arrange your belongings in whatever way suits your household. Our packing services can lighten that load if you would rather skip the tedious parts. Once the groundwork is behind you, you are free to head out and start exploring.

The best of Short Hills once you have unpacked

Short Hills has long been counted among the finer suburbs for family life in New Jersey, which is precisely why so many households set their sights on it. The setting is tough to beat, close enough to New York City for an easy day trip yet comfortably removed from the constant rush of the metro area. Naturally, that leaves you with no shortage of things to do. Here are a handful to get started, and consider the rest a project for your first few months as a resident.

• A relaxed afternoon wandering the grounds of Greenwood Gardens
• A family trip to the well-loved local bird sanctuary
• A shopping run at the town’s famous mall
• Catching the sunset over South Mountain Reservation

If the outdoors is your thing, you are in luck. The surrounding landscape is full of green space and scenic trails built for hiking, so lace up and see how much of this stretch of New Jersey you can cover. Odds are you will stumble onto a few hidden gems along the way.
