Millburn, Essex County
What we see in Millburn
Millburn is a township of about 9.9 square miles in southwestern Essex County, bordered by Livingston, West Orange, Maplewood, Chatham Borough, Florham Park, Summit, Springfield, and Union. Most of its roughly 21,700 residents live in Short Hills, the larger of its two main sections. NJ Transit's Morristown Line stops at Millburn and Short Hills stations. The township also holds the Mall at Short Hills, the Paper Mill Playhouse on the Rahway River, and part of South Mountain Reservation.
Selling a house in Millburn: what's different here
Rahway River in a valley
Both branches of the Rahway River pass through Millburn's valley. Hurricane Ida in 2021 flooded downtown and affected more than 70 businesses, and one resident told a local paper her home had flooded three times. In 2023 the township finished a $700,000 drainage project in the South Mountain neighborhood. We buy homes with flood history as-is, without repairs first.
Short Hills and Wyoming
Short Hills began when Stewart Hartshorn bought 1,550 acres to build a planned community, and the Wyoming section grew from 100 acres developed by the Wyoming Land and Improvement Company. Many homes in both areas are large and decades old. If yours needs more updating than you want to take on, we buy it in its current condition.
Flood plans still pending
Millburn has studied using the Orange Reservoir in West Orange as a storm-retention basin, and Orange approved that study in 2023, but the Army Corps of Engineers later withdrew its support. Until a fix is built, buyers near the river will keep asking about flood risk and insurance. Our cash offer does not wait on any of it.

Questions from Millburn sellers
Millburn FAQ
My Millburn house flooded during Ida. Can I sell it without rebuilding?
Yes. We buy flood-damaged homes as-is and account for the condition in our price, so you do not need to finish repairs before closing.
Do you buy in Short Hills as well as Millburn proper?
Yes. Short Hills is part of Millburn Township, and we buy houses in both Short Hills and the rest of the township.
Do all the heirs have to agree before an inherited house can be sold?
In New Jersey, an inherited house is sold through the estate, so the executor or court-appointed administrator signs the sale. We talk with each heir separately and privately, so no one has to negotiate as a group, and we'll walk you through getting an administrator appointed if that hasn't happened yet.
How fast can you close on a Millburn house?
Thirty days is typical, and clean files can move faster. If you need more time, we'll write the date you want into the contract.
Are you a local company?
Yes. We're a New Jersey company based in Toms River, and we buy in all 21 counties, including Essex County. We are BBB accredited with an A+ rating, listed under our affiliate Gembrook Properties.
