Homes for Sale in Springfield, NJ

Why buyers and sellers choose Springfield.

Springfield is a 5.1-square-mile Union County township of roughly 17,500 residents, one of the more under-the-radar Union County markets that quietly delivers strong fundamentals. The township sits at a convenient cross-roads: between Summit to the north, Millburn-Short Hills to the northeast, and Maplewood to the east, with easy access to Route 24 for commuting and the famous Baltusrol Golf Club (host of multiple US Opens) on the township's eastern edge. Springfield offers many of the premium suburban benefits of neighboring towns, strong schools, well-kept residential streets, mature trees, family-oriented community, at meaningfully more accessible pricing.

Our Union office at 1915 Morris Avenue works the Springfield market continuously: first-time buyers attracted to the value relative to neighboring premium towns, families upsizing into the substantial homes near Baltusrol, and downsizers staying close to their established networks.

Springfield NJ homes for sale

Springfield's single-family stock breaks down into three broad tiers. Entry-level Springfield homes ($500K to $650K) include starter capes, ranches, and older colonials on the smaller blocks off Morris Avenue and toward the Route 22 corridor. Mid-market Springfield homes ($650K to $850K) are the volume anchor: well-maintained center-hall colonials, expanded capes, and updated splits across most of the township, including much of the Battle Hill area. Higher-end Springfield homes ($900K to $1.2M+) sit near Baltusrol Golf Club and along the Mountain Avenue corridor, with substantial renovated colonials, custom new construction, and select estate-scale homes. A local Springfield realtor who works the township daily can tell you exactly which blocks trade at which prices and where the current inventory is priced fairly versus stretched.

Springfield NJ condos and townhomes

Springfield's condo and townhome segment is small but active. June 2026 saw 3 condo/townhome closings at a median of $330,000 (flat year-over-year), averaging 22 days on market and selling at 96.1% of list price. Active inventory sits at just 3 listings, a 0.8-month supply. Because the sample is thin, individual sales can move the reported median meaningfully; the practical range for Springfield condos and townhomes typically runs $275K to $425K, popular with first-time buyers and downsizers who want low-maintenance ownership without leaving the township.

Springfield neighborhoods & housing stock

Springfield's housing is largely single-family, colonials, ranches, split-levels, and capes built between the 1940s and 1970s, with pockets of newer custom construction throughout. The most-requested areas include the Mountain Avenue corridor and the streets near Baltusrol Golf Club (substantial homes, mature character), the Battle Hill section (historic area with elevated terrain), and the residential blocks around Springfield Center for buyers prioritizing walkability to local shops. Newer construction is appearing on tear-down infill lots throughout.

Springfield Public Schools

Springfield Public Schools is a K-12 district. The district operates Edward V. Walton Early Childhood Center, James Caldwell Elementary, Thelma L. Sandmeier Elementary, Florence M. Gaudineer Middle School, and Jonathan Dayton High School. The schools are consistently solid and one of the reasons Springfield offers good value relative to higher-priced neighbors.

Commute & access

Springfield's commute is strong. Route 24 runs through the township providing fast access to I-78 (about 5 minutes) and onward to the Lincoln Tunnel approaches. The Garden State Parkway is minutes east. The nearest NJ Transit station is in Summit (5-10 minutes away), meaning Springfield residents can access Midtown Direct service with a short drive. Drive time to Midtown Manhattan averages 40-55 minutes depending on traffic. Many Springfield buyers consider this the sweet spot: Summit-area amenities and commute access at meaningfully lower pricing.

Springfield home prices, June 2026

Springfield closed June 2026 with a $722,000 single-family median across 11 closings. Homes averaged 20 days on market and sold at 104.7% of list price, meaning most quality Springfield listings are still going under contract in under three weeks and at over-ask. Volume was down 47.6% from June 2025 and the median softened 11.4% year-over-year, but that reflects a mix shift toward smaller entry-tier homes rather than a broad price reset; the list-to-sale ratio well above 100% is the tell that demand is still tight. Active inventory sits at 22 listings, a 2.5-month supply, up 46.7% from a year ago, and still tilted toward sellers on well-priced Baltusrol and Mountain Avenue product.

Buyer playbook. The deeper inventory pool is a genuine opening. Buyers who were priced out during 2024 and early 2025 finally have real choice at the entry and mid tiers. Come with pre-approval, be ready to move within two to three weeks on the right home, and be prepared to negotiate close to ask rather than well below. Seller playbook. Springfield is still transacting above list on quality inventory, but 22 active listings means buyers have alternatives. Pricing to comp and presenting a clean, staged home is the difference between a two-week close over ask and a listing that sits into a price cut.
