Rockaway Township Real Estate
Located in picturesque northwestern Morris County, Rockaway
Township is the largest municipality in the county, spanning over 45.6
square miles. With over 20,000 residents, Rockaway Township is a family
community that offers a unique combination of distinctive neighborhoods
which retain a small town character, with lake communities, new housing
developments and quiet, more rural residential areas. The entire community
is a rolling countryside with excellent recreational facilities. Protected
open space and the environment form an important partnership with the
Township's industry and businesses.
Only 35 miles west of New York City, several major highways serve the
Rockaway Township area. Interstate 80, which crosses the state from
the George Washington Bridge in New York City to the Delaware Water
Gap, in Pennsylvania, passes through the Township, as does U.S. Highway
Route 46. Interstate Routes 280 and 287, and New Jersey State Routes
10, 15, and 23 are adjacent to the Township. Railroad transportation
for people and commodities is found on the nearby ConRail, with passenger
stations in the neighboring communities of Denville and Dover. Newark
International Airport is only 35 minutes away.
Within Rockaway Township is Rockaway Townsquare Mall, one of the largest
and most modern shopping malls in New Jersey. There are six local schools
(five elementary and one middle school), with two regional high schools
located just outside its boundaries. The Police Department consists
of 53 police officers and there are five volunteer Fire and Rescue Companies
serving the area with a combined total of 150 men and women.
