Zip code 07062 centers on Plainfield’s tree-lined northwest, where early 20th-century homes in the Sleepy Hollow area meet expansive green spaces like Cedar Brook Park and Green Brook Park. Expect a classic four-season New Jersey climate—blooming springs, warm summers, colorful falls, and brisk, occasionally snowy winters—and a down-to-earth, community-minded vibe with weekend pick-up games, joggers, and dog walkers. The arts scene spans the long-running Plainfield Symphony and local galleries, while the dining scene leans diverse and casual with Caribbean and Latin American eateries, neighborhood bakeries, and coffee at Queen City Coffee Roasters. Everyday errands are easy with Supremo and nearby ShopRite of Watchung, plus fitness at LA Fitness in Watchung and Planet Fitness, and shopping along Route 22 at Watchung Square and Blue Star. Commuters appreciate NJ Transit’s Netherwood and Plainfield stations on the Raritan Valley Line and quick access to Route 22, I-78, and the Parkway. According to Zillow market trends, recent months show a median asking rent around the low $2,300s, with most listings roughly $1,800–$3,000. Family and pet friendly.
