Fun fact about Short Hills, NJ:

• The Mall at Short Hills isn’t just a shopping destination: it’s home to some of NJ’s most tech-forward businesses.
• The “Mall Loop” shortcut: While everyone knows The Mall at Short Hills, true locals know the secret to navigating the surrounding roads during peak shopping season or rush hour. Instead of sticking to the main arteries like JFK Parkway or Route 24, they’ll use the residential streets behind the mall, like Hobart Avenue or Hartshorn Drive, as a “back way” to get around or access specific entrances without getting stuck in traffic.
• Greenwood Gardens’ quiet seasons: Most people know Greenwood Gardens as a beautiful public garden. However, locals appreciate it most during the more peaceful, off-peak seasons—early spring before the crowds, or late fall when the foliage is spectacular and you can almost have the place to yourself. They know the best times to visit for a peaceful stroll, not just for the main events.
• The “Old Short Hills” vs. “New Short Hills” vibe: While it’s all Short Hills, locals subtly distinguish between the older, more established areas with larger, classic homes (often closer to the Short Hills train station or the historic section) and the newer developments or regions with more recently built or renovated homes. There’s a slight cultural difference in the feel and history of these distinct pockets.
• The “Canoe Brook” connection: Locals are aware that Canoe Brook Country Club is more than just a golf course; it’s a significant historical and geographical landmark. The “Canoe Brook” itself runs through parts of the area, and its presence influenced the development and even the names of some local roads and neighborhoods. It’s a quiet nod to the area’s past.
• The “South Mountain Reservation” access points: While the South Mountain Reservation is shared with Millburn, Short Hills locals have their preferred, less-trafficked entry points. They know which small, unmarked paths or residential street access points lead directly to specific trails or quiet spots within the reservation, thereby avoiding the busier main entrances, such as Locust Grove.
