Commute nearly anywhere from Roxbury
Bordering Lake Hopatcong, the largest lake in New Jersey, Roxbury is a Morris County township offering a centralized location with quick access to a diverse transportation network. “One of the great things about Morris County is you’re smack in the middle of North Jersey,” says Ted Miller II, a Realtor-Associate with Coldwell Banker Realty, who grew up in Roxbury and has been selling homes here since 1991. “It’s easy enough to get to New York City, and it’s easy enough to get to the Poconos in Pennsylvania or even the Jersey Shore.”
The area originally served as an iron mining hub in the 1700s for the Continental Army, but the construction of roads led to the community’s continued growth. In the late 1800s, Lake Hopatcong was one of the region’s busiest summer destinations. With its location next to the lake, the following decades saw a continued boom with the construction of new train stations, schools and homes. Roxbury today is known for its great schools, shopping hubs and outdoor attractions.

Commuting via train or I-80
Commuters heading to work in New York City can park and take the train at Mount Arlington station.

Drivers also have about an hour and a half on the road when traveling about 40 miles along Interstate 80. For emergencies, Saint Clare's Dover Hospital is almost 5 miles away, off U.S. Route 46. The closest airport is Newark Liberty International, about 34 miles away.

Swimming in Horseshoe Lake, ziplining, hiking trails
Horseshoe Lake is Roxbury’s most popular outdoor attraction. It features a beach, a playground, walking trails and sports facilities. “They actually host the Morris County high school baseball championship there every year,” Miller says. Only members can access the lake’s beach and designated swimming area, but residents can purchase day passes or become members. Horseshoe Lake is also the venue for many town events, including weekly summer concerts and movie nights, when the lake’s swimming time is extended. The park’s Spring Market in May, Summer Market in July and Fall Market in October feature local vendors, food trucks and live music. In Roxbury’s north end, Hopatcong State Park provides boating, fishing and swimming access to Lake Hopatcong. The FLG X Adventure Course offers ziplines and obstacle courses through the town’s forest. The Berkshire Valley State Wildlife Management Area is a deer hunting area, but there is also a roughly 7-mile trail hikers can follow to go birding or walk their dogs.

The Roxbury Diner has been serving breakfast, lunch and dinner since 1986, while Cliff's Homemade Ice Cream has been a local staple since it opened back in 1975. “It’s been there for a long time,” says Miller. “We used to go there after baseball games when I was a little kid.”
