Morris County has experienced rapid growth in recent years, combining an attractive array of qualities that are equally appealing to business and newcomers looking for the ideal place to call home. Situated in the rolling hills and lakes of the central portion of Northern New Jersey, Morris County is rich in historic lore and tradition. Just 30 miles from New York City, the county offers natural beauty, rural landscapes, historic buildings, and relaxed country living. This area has evolved in recent decades from a suburban-rural region to a rapidly developing suburban-urban center. While the influx of highly visible corporations has spurred widespread residential and economic growth, Morristown continues to anchor the region as the seat of county government and the legal and financial center for Northern New Jersey.

Research centers have been attracted to this area since the days when Samuel Morse first perfected the telegraphy in a barn in Morristown. In recent years, the hospitality industry has burgeoned in response to corporate and private needs. The continual flood of tourists has created a demand for quality accommodations, catering to visitors who are drawn to premier historic sites, breathtaking scenery, vast recreational amenities, and first-rate cultural attractions. Serving the county’s transportation needs, a highly efficient transit network includes state and federal highways and mass transit opportunities for commuters.

Services
Morris County’s commitment to excellence is never more evident than within its educational system, from outstanding public school districts to respected private and parochial schools. A full complement of programs for the gifted and challenged combines with a strong core curriculum and outstanding vocational and technical training opportunities for students of all ages. Those seeking a higher education will find a selection of quality colleges and universities in Morris County: Fairleigh Dickinson University and Drew University are in Madison, the College of St. Elizabeth is located in Convent Station, and County College of Morris is available in Randolph. Considering that one out of every four high-school graduates attends the County College of Morris, the wide appeal of its diverse two-year programs has been proven time and time again.

Newcomers to Morris County can look forward to state-of-the-art healthcare services and facilities anchored by major hospitals and medical centers. Chilton Memorial Hospital, St. Clare’s Hospital Denville, St. Clare’s Hospital Dover, and Morristown Memorial Hospital are among the major institutions that provide leading-edge treatment and diagnostics. Morristown Memorial Hospital alone offers 600 beds, serving as a regional resource for highly advanced services that include tertiary care. Through the county, skilled physicians and dentists in private practice, family practice clinics, emergency care centers, same-day surgery centers, and other specialized facilities meet every need.

Lifestyle
Few sections of New Jersey can offer the selection of housing found in Morris County, where the choices range from landmark homesteads to elegant mansions and contemporary properties with every amenity. Parsippany-Troy Hills is especially known for the abundance of multi-family developments of condominiums and townhouses. Throughout the county, comfortable garden apartments and efficiency split-level homes mix with rambling Georgian and Victorian estates that feature sweeping lawns and meticulously landscaped gardens. Large-scale housing developments have blossomed in recent years, especially in outlying areas where large tracts of land were once devoted to agriculture.

Shopping is available in larger malls and major retail districts, although the county excels in antique treasures and delightful boutiques that are tucked away in odd corners. “The Green” in Morristown dates back to the colonial era, bordered by more than 30 stores and restaurants, a thriving business center, entertainment centers, and a retail promenade. Many of the contemporary shopping centers feature branches of famous New York stores without the “Big Apple” price tags. Cultural activities and events range from outstanding galleries and museums to the performing arts. The area’s close proximity to many of New Jersey finest arts and entertainment venues combine with easy access to Manhattan and Broadway theaters for leisure options that are unrivaled. Local festivals, celebrations, concerts, parades, and holiday events play an important role in the tranquil yet lively Morris County lifestyle.

Riding stables for equestrians, excellent golf courses, ice-skating arenas, cross-country ski trails, outdoor education centers, summer music festivals, swimming areas and facilities, bike paths, multi-purpose trails, arboretums, and nature centers are some of the quality attractions. Drawing more than two million visitors each year, these meticulously maintained parks encompass almost 11,000 acres of recreational and educational facilities. Overnight camping, sports fields, picnic sites, parafitness courses, and lovely gardens make these green spaces a cherished playground for all ages. Bringing together spectacular natural beauty, educational excellence, successful corporations, and first-rate attractions, Morris County offers an idyllic home.
