Suburb with ample recreation and local shops
Pompton Lakes is a New Jersey borough surrounded by lakes and the Ramapo Mountains. Dutch settlers originally used the area as farmland before the discovery of iron ore resulted in major development of the area in the 1700s. Pompton Lakes voted to split from Pompton Township in 1895, and the borough was officially incorporated the same year. Today, the suburb offers local shopping and dining, community parks, nearby nature reserves to the north and plenty of ways to commute to New York City.
Pompton Lakes' welcome sign, coupled with the Liberty Bell, marks the entrance to the town.
The waterfront homes are well-maintained throughout the year.
