Branchville Home for Rent

Branchville is a small borough with about 800 people. Located in Frankford Township, the borough is one of New Jersey’s 21 “doughnut towns.” The borough is a unique space in a largely rural county. “You can walk to the post office, you can walk to the pharmacy, you can walk to the coffee shop. So that’s the draw of Branchville,” says Marjorie Morville, a Realtor sales associate with Coldwell Banker Realty who has sold homes in the area for over 20 years. “Because it’s rural Sussex County, not too many places have sidewalks and a little town you can walk through.” Branchville’s small size also allows neighbors to know and see one another around town. “I just think it’s a great family-oriented small-town atmosphere,” Morville says. “And so if that’s what you’re looking for, it’s a great place.” Morville says low taxes are another longstanding draw to Branchville. “It’s just like Frankford Township and Hampton and Stillwater,” Morville says. “They have some of the lowest taxes in the county.” Farmhouse-style colonials with large front porches are particularly common in Branchville, but there are also other colonial styles, Stick Victorians, new traditionals and ranch-style houses.
