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.

Annual events including the May carnival

Joseph G. Lurker Park is the community's gathering spot. "There are a lot of activities for families during the year," LaForgia says. The park hosts summer concerts, a Memorial Day parade, East Hanover Day and a trunk or treat for Halloween. The annual May carnival features numerous rides as well as festival food classics like funnel cakes and fried Oreos.

Lurker Park plus Troy Meadows wetlands

Lurker Park has baseball fields and a walking path, and sits next to the East Hanover Township Pool. Further west, Troy Meadows is a 2600-acre preserve that allows for hiking, bird-watching and wildlife spotting. Numerous streams, including the Whippany River run through the wetlands.

GreatSchools: The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
