South Plainfield Apartments

Learn more about living in our South Plainfield apartments.

Once an inclusion in the Elizabethtown Purchase of 1664 and a historic spot during the Revolutionary War is now a thriving community more than 23,000 people call home. In the mid-1930s, after the Great Depression wreaked havoc on the small town’s economy, the booming radio industry offered employment to more than half of South Plainfield’s families and started the borough’s industrial push that remains today. Local housing developments started appearing in the 1950s and ‘60s, which has grown to include tight-knit communities within the borough and various South Plainfield apartments.

Part of the charm of living in South Plainfield is its strong sense of community. Residents living near each other in South Plainfield apartments and homes often find themselves collaborating in local civic organizations and chapters, from the American Legion, Elks Lodge, Business Association, Junior Woman’s Club, Lions Club, and MOMS Club to various South Plainfield sports leagues and clubs. Rub elbows with friends and other South Plainfield locals at community events like seasonal festivals, school drives and church functions, all of which attract locals in droves and give people a chance to get to know each other and make lifelong friends.

Plenty of commuters call South Plainfield home, thanks to its proximity to Newark, Jersey City, Hoboken and, of course, Manhattan. Get from the front door of most South Plainfield apartments to work in any of the nearby metros by hopping on I-78, I-287, I-95, the Garden State Parkway or any of the train and bus lines headed into neighboring cities.

But residents don’t have to venture too far from South Plainfield apartments to find great restaurants with cuisine from all around the world. Paulo’s Bar and Restaurant serves hearty portions of Brazilian fare; Fuji Sushi House is a local favorite for sushi and fantastic service; Saigon Restaurant is a Vietnamese gem that dishes up authentic cuisine; and Tony’s Pizza is the perfect spot to grab a pie on the go. For some after-dinner entertainment, the Regal Cinemas Hadley Theatre 16 at the Hadley Center is a great place to catch the latest flick. No matter the occasion, there’s always something to do in South Plainfield and beyond.
