Montague Township, ‘a real small-town feel’
Montague Township, 70 miles from Newark, is the only New Jersey municipality bordering both Pennsylvania and New York. The township is primarily composed of state lands and protected areas with rolling green hills and recreational opportunities near the surrounding lakes and trails. Many move to the area because of the school district and low property taxes. “It is a real small-town feel in Sandyston and Montague,” says Marjorie Morville, a local Realtor and sales associate with Coldwell Banker Realty, adding that small class sizes at district schools and "reasonable taxes" attract people to this northern part of Sussex County.
