New Vernon
Suburban Neighborhood in Harding, New Jersey
Morris County 07920, 07960, 07976
New Vernon is a very desirable community smack in the center of Harding Township. Generations of families call this area home and work together to preserve the township's bucolic nature and history.
Many politicians, Fortune 500 executives and industrialists call New Vernon and the greater township home. Because of this, Harding Township has long been considered one of the state's most exclusive areas. So much so Forbes once declared it in its 'Top 25 Richest Zip Codes.' Many elegant estates and manors sit on the National Register of Historic Places. Residents also live in bungalows and cottages in the Mount Kemble Lake community, which date back to the 1920s. Most properties are luxurious and large, on more than 3 acres. The spacious properties provide residents with privacy and also big backyards. Homes tend to be priced between $1 million and $4 million. Two town home developments, Shadowbrook and Harding Green, feature estate-like living.
Believe it or not, the Harding Township School District only educates around 315 prekindergarten through eighth-grade students. Residents who send their children to the public school say it feels like a private school. High schoolers move on to Madison High, which U.S. News & World Report ranks as the 34th best high school in the state. Madison High has an overall A-plus rating from Niche, including the top mark in sports followed by an A in academics and college preparation. However, many township families opt to send their children to the various nearby private schools, including the Pingry School, Mendham Country Day School, Morristown-Beard, the Delbarton School and Kent Place School.
The community surrounds residents with thousands of acres of protected green space and waterways. Be on the lookout for horses around town. Horse-crossing signs are common as many properties have permanent easements for the horse trail that snakes through much of the township. So if you ride horses, the township has plenty of public trails. There are several parks and fields for outdoor fun, like Bayne Park and Kirby Hall Park. There's also Memorial Park and Blue Mill Fields. Residents wanting to learn more about their wildlife neighbors don't have to stray as the Great Swamp Wildlife Refugee is right in their backyard. This nearly 8,000-acre refugee is a perfect spit for hiking and nature viewing. Be sure to visit the Wildlife Observation Center and the Great Swamp Greenhouse. For indoor fun, spend time at the all-volunteer Kemmerer Library. Here kids can practice yoga during storytime, sing and dance, make tons of crafts and read with puppies. For adults, there's virtual author visits and cooking and book clubs. Speaking of volunteers, the New Vernon Volunteer Fire Department traditionally hosts two annual fundraisers — a fall auction and a summer lobster and steak dinner — that draw tons and tons of visitors.
The Green Village Deli, home of the famous Chinese chicken salad, serves breakfast and lunch daily. Deli makes countless types of salads, sandwiches and sandwiches. Minuteman Whiskey Bar & BBQ makes smoked wings= and hush puppies and serves barbecued meat by the pound, including brisket, pork and chicken. After your meal, head on over to The Candy Store of Harding and pick out handmade truffles. There's a flower shop and wine store nearby. While there are only a few shops and restaurants in town, there are several towns about a 10-minute drive away with grocery stores and more locally owned spots.
If living among history and nature is calling your name, come find your forever home in New Vernon.

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.
