Residents enjoy a laid-back lifestyle with opportunities for fishing, hiking, and kayaking. The Apshawa Preserve is a local favorite for hiking, featuring trails that lead to waterfalls and historic ruins. Greenwood Lake, open for various water activities except swimming, is the only lake allowing motorboats. Bubbling Springs Park provides a sandy beach, lifeguards, playgrounds, and athletic fields.

Miller Middle School, and Kinnelon High School, is highly rated, offering specialized classes in various subjects. Community events like summer concerts, Fourth of July fireworks, and fishing derbies add to the township's charm. Commuters can drive to Manhattan or use the Park & Ride off Route 23 for bus access.
