Chatham New Jersey

 

Chatham New Jersey, is really two communities which have come together to try to serve their people better. Made up of Chatham Boro, consisting of the area around the Chatham train station or the Midtown Direct New Jersey transit train line, and Chatham Township located to the south of the boro and along the great swamp.

Chatham Boro and Township tend to be very popular places for young professional to call home. There are many reasons for this including the Midtown Direct New Jersey Transit Train line, which can have you in Manhattan in less than 40 minutes. The Chatham schools also lend to the desirability of both Chatham Boro & Township. The schools both public and private are widely seen as some of the best in all of New Jersey. The great 1950’s style downtown with quaint shops is very walk able and a delight to spend a little time in. Having the Short Hills mall just a couple of miles away is a very nice bonus as well.

The Chatham NJ Real Estate market has held up quite well during this real estate cycle compared to the rest of the state. For 2007 Chatham had a slight increase in average home sales price, as compared to the average for the state of New Jersey which was 14% lower from 2006 prices. This has much to do with the above mentioned benefits which Chatham has to offer.
