Chatham, NJ 07928 - Community Info

First settled in 1710, this gorgeous area covers less than three square miles. Within such a small space, however, rests a township like no other. Not only is it small enough to encourage pedestrian and bike traffic at every turn, it also incorporates a strong community vibe into every aspect of the area. Here are just a few things you may want to consider as you try to decide whether Chatham real estate is right for you.

  • In 2005, Chatham was named one of Money Magazine's Top Ten Places to Live. Factors in the award included property values, available recreation, and the sense of community, much of which has remained the same since the award.

  • Chatham is home to some of the biggest companies in America including AT&T, Prudential, and Nabisco. Not only does this mean that there are some great jobs nearby, it also means that some of the most talented executives in the country buy Chatham real estate on a regular basis.

  • Chatham has much to offer in the way of outdoor recreation. Committed to both the development and implementation of programs for all residents, you can find everything from a softball team to a skate park to a senior services center in the area.

A quiet and carefully developed set of communities, Chatham Township is looked at by many as an ideal place to live. The sheer proximity of Chatham real estate to New York City makes it an easy commute for those whose business is in the city, while the small town feel and the large space allow for a bit of breathing room. Interested in learning a bit more before you make a final decision on Chatham real estate? Here are a few of the most frequently asked questions about the area?

I hear the history of the area is quite interesting. Why?
The town was actually created by a melting glacier. When the Wisconsin glacier melted more than 20,000 years ago, it formed Lake Passaic. The land that encompasses most of the Chatham Township real estate was at the bottom of the lake. As the water receded and the land became habitable, the natural beauty of Chatham was left behind. All of these events, however, occurred only six or seven thousand years ago.

Why is Chatham such a good place to live?
Most residents consider it a great community for several reasons. Chatham real estate is highly desirable not because of its history (that just makes it interesting) but because of the close proximity to New York City and thanks to sense of community created by every aspect of the area. The shopping is much better than those who have never seen the area are led to believe. Due to the closeness of New York City, most believe that they will need to leave their homes and to travel to the much larger city in order to buy items. This, however, isn't true, as there are a number of excellent shopping facilities that are very close to a great deal of open Chatham Township real estate. Moreover, however, the school system is one of the best in the state. Thanks to the cultural opportunities that are open to students due to immediacy of New York City, students can learn a vast amount about the world that surrounds them. Chatham realtors are very knowledgeable with helping those who are moving into the area to understand where the district lines are, but because all of the schools earn such high marks from both state and national ranking boards, parents have little to worry about.

Fortunately, we're not the only ones who think so highly of the area. It was voted one of the top ten places to live in the United States in 2005. Money Magazine listed Chatham Township real estate as some of the most desirable thanks to the homes, shopping facilities, available schooling, and close proximity to New York City. Once this was announced, Chatham realtors became extremely busy and still are today!
