 The
city of Summit, population 19,612, is atop the
second Watchung Mountain. During the Revolutionary
War, Summit played a pivotal role due to its
higher elevation. Today, there are several local
historians who help maintain the proud history
of this lovely city.
The railroad spurred the development of a town center, complete with
luxury hotels. One, the Blackburn House, built in 1868 on Springfield Avenue was reconstructed
in 1929 as the Summit Suburban Hotel, then renovated in 1986 and renamed the Grand Summit Hotel.
Today, it caters to executives visiting corporations in Summit and nearby.
Single-family homes range in price from the low $200’s, for a smaller split-level up to
$2.5 million for a beautiful, large, center hall colonial situated on one of north Summit’s
distinctive tree-lined streets.
There is also a large selection of condos, many situated in comfortable
old buildings, within walking distance of downtown, and some in conveniently located younger
developments.
