Suburban Hanover has community parks and access to Morristown
The suburban township of Hanover sits at the intersection of Morris County’s major highways. This location serves as a nice landing spot for Big Apple commuters, and there are also several large offices in the area for people working locally. The busy Interstate 287 separates smaller neighborhoods, such as Cedar Knolls and Whippany, from one another, and though Hanover has parks and local restaurants, the popular Morristown to the south is a bigger stop for shopping, dining and access to New Jersey Transit.
The Frelinghuysen Arboretum provides ample space for a picnic.
There are several parks, including this community playground in the area.

Postwar suburban homes with low property taxes in Morris County
The median sale price for a home in Hanover is $701,000, slightly higher than the median sale price for Morris County. But residents experience lower costs elsewhere. “There are lower property taxes here compared to many of the surrounding areas,” says Lois DeCaro, a Hanover local and associate broker with Fathom Realty NJ LLC. Hanover residents benefit from some of the lowest average property taxes in Morris County, including neighboring communities like Florham Park Borough and Morris Plains Borough.
Within Hanover, different communities offer different housing options and personalities. Cedar Knolls has a straightforward blend of Cape Cods, split-levels and ranch-style homes built from the 1950s through the early 2000s. Across I-287 in Whippany is a more diverse mix of single-family homes, new-construction townhouses and condo communities.
Hanover has quiet neighborhoods with well-kept streets.
Some subdivisions have smaller and more cozy homes.

I-287 business corridor and Manhattan commute options
Manhattan is a 32-mile drive east along New Jersey Route 3 or Interstate 280. Newark Liberty International Airport is around 22 miles east and offers domestic and international flights. The Morris Plains and Morristown New Jersey Transit stations are less than 5 miles from home, so commuters can take Midtown Direct Line trains to Penn Station in just over an hour. “People here work all over,” says DeCaro. “Many take Midtown trains, but there are so many major corporations around here, so the job market serves as another benefit to buying here.” I-287 serves as a nearby business corridor, home to Whippany's offices for the Bayer Corporation and Barclays.
Central Taqueria is a great option for Mexican tortias.

Local shopping options and downtown Morristown next door
The Cedar Knolls area has a Walmart and a ShopRite for groceries. To the east in Whippany is a corridor of local businesses along New Jersey Route 10. Whippany Diner offers Mediterranean brunch dishes, while Trattoria Toscana serves Italian classics and craft cocktails. “We’re also next door to Morristown with a vibrant downtown full of shops, restaurants, clubs and a farmers market,” says DeCaro. Morristown is a couple of miles south, where locals can get tikka masala and chili chicken from Chakra Indian Cuisine, cocktails with surf-and-turf at 1776 Morristown, or pork buns and sushi at Ju-Ichi Japanese Restaurant.
Morristown Medical Center serves the Hanover area.
