Butler NJ Real Estate

A walkable Route 23 borough
at the heart of our coverage area.

The Character of Butler

Compact, walkable, connected.

Butler is a small, walkable Morris County borough on the Route 23 corridor — our office at 1481 NJ-23 South is here, and we know this market in detail. The borough is compact (~2 square miles) but dense in character: a historic downtown along Main Street, a strong sense of community, and a well-priced range of housing that goes well beyond the typical commuter-town stock.

Butler's value market clusters in the $400K to $700K range for established single-family homes, with a select luxury tier above $900K for the larger lots and renovated properties on the western edge near Kinnelon. The borough has become a steady choice for buyers wanting a small-town feel within easy reach of both NYC and the rural Highlands.

Route 23 provides direct access south to I-287 and east to the GSP; Boonton Line rail service at nearby stations connects to Hoboken and Penn Station. Schools include Butler Middle School and Butler High School, with strong municipal support.
