THE CALDWELLS NJ - Caldwell, North Caldwell & West Caldwell 
The Caldwells consist of three communities: Caldwell, West Caldwell and North Caldwell. The beauty of the Watchung mountains, with forests, streams and farmland first attracted settlers in the early 1700’s. The Township of Caldwell, which incorporated The Caldwells, Cedar Grove, Fairfield and Verona was formed after the Revolutionary War, taking its name to honor James Caldwell, a minister who aided Washington’s troops during the war. The town boundaries which exist today were defined almost a century later.
Caldwell and West Caldwell have a wide range of home styles, spanning hundreds of years. Although there is very little vacant land, there are some recently built townhouses and converted garden apartment complexes. In 2010, the median sale price for single family homes (including condominiums and coops) in Caldwell and West Caldwell was 372,000 and $432,000 respectively. 2009-$345,000 & $450,000, 2008-$400,024 & $465,000, 2007-$420,000 & $480,000.
