Situated approximately 40 miles west of New York City off Routes 80 and 46, Rockaway Borough provides comfortable housing, an acclaimed school system, and a wide array of service and amenities.  Retaining a small-town feeling, the borough is characterized as a charming commuter town with a colonial flavor.  This quiet, residential community with a pristine lake nestles in the shadow of the much larger neighboring Rockaway Township. Newcomers to the township will discover a delightful, rustic area that features lush woods and vast open space.  Home of the College County of Morris, the township balances industry and commercial activity with tranquil neighborhoods.  Local parks, athletic fields, league sports, playgrounds, tennis courts, ice-skating, a golf course, and sparkling lakes ensure quality leisure activities.  Transportation efficiencies include Interstate 80, Route 15, and bus or train service to New York City.
