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.
No matter in which Chatham you reside, commuting to New York City and other nearby metropolitan areas is quite convenient. Located on New Jersey Transit’s Mid-Town Direct line, trains go straight into New York’s Penn Station or Hoboken Terminal. Additionally, there are many bus routes servicing the area and Interstates 78, 287 and the Garden State Parkway are close by.
Chatham Borough’s downtown features many unique shops and restaurants, and there are many other shopping facilities nearby, such as the Short Hills and Livingston Malls.
The Chatham Regional school system is very highly ranked, with the high school recently placing 12th on New Jersey Monthly Magazine’s list of top schools in the state. The Library of the Chathams is a great resource to residents and nearby Drew and Fairleigh Dickinson Universities offer additional classes and cultural opportunities. Many outdoor recreational facilities are accessible to residents, such as, the Great Swamp National Wildlife Preserve, Jockey Hollow, Loantaka and the Morristown National Historical Park.

Closing or Settlement >Preparing for the Walk Through
When moving out of a house you have lived in for a long time, you may discover years' worth of dust that was previously concealed by your home furnishings. If you don't have the time or energy to clean your house for the new owners, a useful option is to pay a professional to do the job.
Before going to the closing table, your buyers will have a last chance to walk through the house and check the appliances, mechanical systems and overall condition to make sure everything is consistent with the sales contract. Even though they really want the house, at this point "buyers' remorse" may be prompting them to look for a reason to call the transaction off. Because an otherwise minor problem or defect can sometimes trigger last-minute cold feet, your best insurance is to make the house look great. Everything should be working properly, and all the agreed-upon repairs should have been made before the buyers arrive to look at the house. You can promote a more relaxed, positive atmosphere for the closing if you take special care in preparing for the walk-through inspection.
