Frankford has a small-town atmosphere near popular green spaces
Just 10 miles south of New Jersey's border with Pennsylvania, Frankford’s rural homes offer bucolic living close to some of the region’s most popular green spaces. “There’s no shortage of outdoor attractions around here,” says Juliet Lopez, a real estate agent with Keller Williams Integrity, who’s been selling homes in the area since 2019. Sussex County was established in 1753 and played a role in both the French and Indian War and the American Revolutionary War. Agriculture has long been the way of life for people here, but a period of mining occurred between the mid-1700s and late 1900s. Today, Frankford retains its small-town vibes and serves as a central location between Newark and Scranton.
This scenic corridor weaves through a lush, expansive valley, connecting charming small businesses with peaceful rural living in every direction.
From the summit of High Point Monument, Frankford stretches into view a place rooted in history, brimming with stories, and elevated in every sense of the word.
In the north end of the neighborhood, Frankford Township Park offers baseball and softball diamonds and soccer fields. Culver Lake and Lake Owassa are popular fishing spots in town. The Appalachian National Scenic Trail, which stretches over 2,000 miles through 14 states, partially runs through the west end of Frankford via Kittatinny Mountain. And less than 5 miles north, Stokes State Forest features over 60 miles of marked hiking and biking trails.
Visitors enjoy kayaking and fishing on the clear waters of Round Valley Reservoir nearby to Hampton, NJ.
Stokes State Forest offers direct access to the lake for local residents.

Traditional home styles, contemporary waterfront properties
Homebuyers can find ranch-style homes and colonial revivals from the mid- to late-1900s, as well as contemporary-style houses from the past 25 years. Properties sit along winding country roads and feature above-average lot sizes. There are also waterfront properties that sit along the town’s two main lakes. “Sussex County is known for having larger homes with larger lots,” says Lopez. Older homes typically sell for $200,000 to $600,000, while newer houses and waterfront properties usually go for $750,000 to $1.25 million.
A stately residence nestled deep within the woods where long drives lead to open lawns and homes are tucked between shade and solitude.
Frankford’s lakeside living is as picturesque as it is privileged luxury homes, private docks, and courtside amenities make every day feel like a retreat.

Students may start at Frankford Township School, which earns a B from Niche, for kindergarten through eighth grade. High Point Regional High School gets a B-minus and operates with a student-to-teacher ratio of 12-to-1.
Set against open skies and rolling fields, this elementary school is more than a place to learn—it’s a proud community cornerstone with heart.

Commuting via Route 206, 15
Because of its rural streetscape, Frankford is car dependent. Heading south on state Route 15 leads 10 miles to Sparta, where many residents go for a wider selection of shops and restaurants. Commuters can make the 50-mile trip to Newark in about an hour and 15 minutes using state Route 15 South and Interstate 280 East. Using the same route, New York City is about 60 miles, or an hour and a half away. The closest hospital, Newton Medical Center, is 10 miles south. Newark Liberty International Airport is 55 miles east.
