The quiet, carefully developed, residential Chatham area is located near Exit 7 of Route 24 just 25 miles west of New York City on the eastern edge of Morris County.  The borough and township are so closely aligned that residents often refer to them collectively as “Chatham.”  This area offers many fine homes, townhomes, garden apartments, and condominiums for a suburban lifestyle that includes excellent regional shopping facilities and restaurants along the Main Street district.  Cultural opportunities include the facilities and programs of neighboring Drew and Fairleigh Dickinson universities.  Recreational amenities include local and county parks, the Great Swamp National Wildlife preserve in Chatham Township and the Jockey Hollow and Morristown National Historical Parks. Beautiful older properties, abundant amenities, outstanding recreational opportunities, and transportation efficiencies contribute to the popularity of both communities.
