Welcome to Morris Township

A peaceful enclave full of suburban serenity and tony elegance
 
Morris Township is a prime example of classic East Coast beauty. Stately brick mansions are set back against lush rolling hills. Ivy climbs the walls of historical monuments, and farms and golf courses sprawl over the verdant landscape. Named for colonial governor Lewis Morris, Morris Township surrounds the city of Morristown, which is known as the area’s urban center. This perfect partnership of countryside and city provides residents with both sophisticated urbanity and rural tranquility. Morris Township’s reputation as a wealthy bedroom community brings high-profile residents looking for easy access to New York City sans the frenzy of hectic city life.
 
Often called “the doughnut,” Morris Township completely encircles Morristown and even shares the same zip code and school district. Morris Township boasts an incredibly rich history and was, in fact, incorporated as a town in the early 1700s, long before the flashy heartbeat of Morristown rose to fame. Today, Morris Township pampers residents with highly coveted real estate and stunning neighborhoods.

Pristine parks and an impressive network of trails offer residents a picturesque way to enjoy the fresh air, while nearby Morristown buzzes with posh boutiques and exquisite dining.

Dining, Entertainment & Shopping

Victorian elegance is on full display at Rod’s Steak and Seafood Grille. This landmark Morristown steakhouse, found within Morris Township, features impeccably restored turn-of-the-century Pullman cars as a backdrop to an exemplary menu of New American and supper club classics like Oscar-style sirloin and Chilean sea bass.

Things to Do

Take to the ice at Morristown’s Mennen Sports Arena, a lively destination in Morris Township that sports three ice surfaces for hockey games, figure skating, and lessons. The public is welcome to join for skating nights year-round, and the snack bar offers hot chocolate so skaters can stay warm between sessions.

Country club culture thrives at Morris County Golf Club, which challenges golfers with a 150-acre championship course. This private, members-only club was established in 1894. It was created, organized, and run by women, an extraordinary accomplishment for the time.

The East Coast’s natural beauty shines at Loantaka Brook Reservation, a stunning nature preserve spanning eight miles of scenic views. Dog-friendly trails and green spaces wind throughout the park, and athletic fields and picnic areas make this an ideal sport for a day out with family or friends.

New Jersey’s rolling hills lend themselves perfectly to challenging golf course design, and the Spring Brook Country Club is one of the area’s most esteemed choices for days out on the greens.
