Morris County Real Estate.

Morris County is where New Jersey's suburban ideal reaches its peak. The county combines historic architecture, tree-lined streets, top-rated public and private schools, and a level of civic pride you feel the moment you arrive. Towns like Morristown, Chatham, Madison, and Mendham aren't just nice places to live — they're institutions.

The county seat, Morristown, anchors everything with its walkable downtown, excellent restaurants, and NJ Transit rail service to Penn Station. But each town has its own distinct personality, from Chatham's village charm to Mendham's equestrian estates to Basking Ridge's (just over the border in Somerset County) corporate polish and home to The Pingry School.

Elite Private Schools

Morris County is the epicenter of NJ private school culture. Delbarton School in Morristown (all-boys, grades 7–12, Benedictine tradition) is one of the most competitive prep schools in the state. Morristown-Beard School (co-ed, Pre-K–12) offers a progressive approach with excellent facilities. Gill St. Bernard's School in Gladstone is another strong co-ed option.

Just across the Somerset County line, The Pingry School in Basking Ridge (Pre-K–12, co-ed) is among the most prestigious schools in the Northeast, drawing families from across Northern NJ. Many families move to Morris County specifically for Pingry or Delbarton — and Tang Group helps them find the right home in the right attendance zone or commuting radius.

Public Schools

Chatham School District consistently ranks in the top 10 statewide — it's one of the primary reasons families choose Chatham. Madison Borough also has excellent public schools and the unique benefit of Drew University's cultural programming. Mendham Township feeds into West Morris Mendham High School, which is highly regarded. Bernards Township (Basking Ridge) has Ridge High School, another top performer.

Character & Lifestyle

Morris County towns feel like they've been preserved in the best possible way. Morristown has the Green (a historic park), craft breweries, independent bookshops, and a farmers market. Chatham has a picture-perfect main street with boutiques and cafes. Madison has Shakespeare Theatre of NJ and a vibrant downtown anchored by Drew University. Mendham and Bernardsville offer horse country living with multi-acre estates, stone walls, and rolling hills.

Commute

Morristown has a major NJ Transit station on the Morris & Essex Line with direct trains to Penn Station NYC (about 60–70 minutes). Chatham and Madison also have NJ Transit stations on the same line. For drivers, I-287 provides north-south connectivity, Route 24 connects to I-78 and the NJ Turnpike, and Route 202 links to Somerset County. Many residents also work in the Morris County pharmaceutical and corporate corridor (Novartis, BASF, Honeywell).

Investment Potential

Morris County's combination of prestige, school quality, and corporate employment creates a stable, appreciation-oriented market. Rental demand exists primarily from corporate transferees and families wanting to "try before they buy" in a specific school district. Investors should focus on properties near train stations (Morristown, Chatham, Madison) where both buyers and renters pay premiums for commute access.
