Once known as a place where wealthy New Yorkers spent their summers, Denville is an inviting Northern New Jersey neighborhood with lakeside living. “You’ve got the lake communities, if you want to be near water, and parks and preserves, so you can go hike or be in nature,” says Jill Lattmann, a Real Estate Sales Associate with Kienlen Lattmann Sotheby's International Realty who has been selling in the area for three years. The lake communities, including Rock Ridge, Arrowhead, Cedar and Indian Lake, offer waterfront views and outdoor recreation. “Denville also has a very vibrant downtown,” Lattmann says, “And you have bus access, train access, you’ve got highway access. It’s just a combination of a lot of really nice features.”
