About Student Housing in Union
Union, New Jersey is a busy suburban township in Union County, roughly fifteen miles from Manhattan, and Kean University gives it a steady college presence. The campus sits at the edge of town near the Elizabeth and Hillside lines, so the student footprint reaches into several neighboring communities. Union mixes residential streets, commercial corridors, and the lived-in suburban character common to this stretch of the metro area. Green space is a highlight: Liberty Hall, a historic estate and museum tied to the founding era, sits beside campus, and the Watchung Reservation and Echo Lake Park offer wooded trails a short drive away. Downtown Elizabeth and the Elmora district sit close by, and New York, Newark, and the Jersey Shore are all within easy reach.
