Chatham Boro

Named by Money Magazine in 2005, as “One of the Top Ten Places to Live in the United States,” Chatham is located 25 miles west of New York City, in southern Morris County. People living in Chatham tend to stay in Chatham their whole lives.  Generations of families, dating back to the town’s earliest inception, are still here and thriving.  And it is, in part, this sense of history that is bringing in new families all the time. While it is a very modern town in its amenities and services, it still possesses a lot of the old-world, village charm that brought the original families here in the first place. Chatham is actually made up of two distinct areas;
Chatham Borough and ChathamTownship, – collectively called Chatham (aka "The Chathams").

Chatham Borough consists of the 2.4 square miles surrounding the quaint downtown.  Residents in the Borough can walk to town and the train station and the homes tend towards variations of Victorian architecture, with neatly, well-manicured lawns.
