ALTHOUGH CHATHAM IS UNDER 50 MINUTES TO NEW YORK CITY, THE ADDED DISTANCE AFFORDS THE TOWN LOWER TAXES. OVERALL, THE PROPERTIES ARE LARGER THAN NEIGHBORING TOWNS. A MIX OF TRADITIONAL AND MORE RECENT CONSTRUCTION ENSURES A VARIETY OF OPTIONS FOR FUTURE HOMEOWNERS. WITH THE HOMES MORE SPREAD OUT, CHATHAM’S SLIGHT COUNTRY FEEL IS A REFRESHING CHANGE TO MANY. ONLY FIVE MINUTES FROM A WALKABLE AND QUAINT, YET ACTIVE DOWNTOWN, CHATHAM’S IDEAL FOR FAMILIES INTERESTED IN A MORE LAID BACK ATMOSPHERE. WITH ITS COMMUNITY POOL, COMMUNITY GARDEN AND THE COMMUNITY PLAYERS THEATER GROUP, THERE’S A STRONG SENSE OF COMMUNITY. CLOSE TO THE SHORT HILLS MALL, ALL SHOPPING NEEDS ARE MET. CHATHAM’S SCHOOL SYSTEM IS CURRENTLY THE HIGHEST RATED IN THE STATE, ROUNDING OUT ITS LIST OF ENTICING OFFERINGS.
