The township of East Hanover is a small suburban enclave bordered by Interstate 280 to the north, and the Troy Meadows wetlands, a large freshwater marsh, to the west. At 25 miles from New York City, East Hanover has proven to be an attractive area for corporate offices like Novartis and those looking for large residential homes. "Nobody wants to leave East Hanover once you're here," says Gloria LaForgia, a sales agent for Weichert Realtors and team lead of the Gloria LaForgia Real Estate Team who has lived in East Hanover since 1988. "It's a very family-oriented area. Whoever moves here stays a long time."
Variety of housing styles, but low inventory
While housing styles offer some variety, inventory in general in East Hanover is scarce. In the older section of the neighborhood split-level, bi-level and ranch-style homes can be found, and newer residential streets are dotted with colonials. A smaller 1950s-era ranch house can cost $700,000. Larger colonial or split-level homes can run $750,000 to $820,000. Brand new homes can go for more than $1 million. A few townhouses, such as those near the Pinch Brook Golf Course, can be found in the $700,000 range.
