The community of Chatham (officially known as Chatham Borough) is an upscale suburb positioned fifteen miles west of Newark and about thirty miles from Manhattan. Primarily a residential community, the downtown district around the corner of Main and Passaic features a cluster of charming storefronts housing locally-owned shops, restaurants, and other small businesses in a walkable layout. Just east of town, the Mall at Short Hills is one of the region’s most popular shopping centers, with the Canoe Brook Country Club right next door.
Several large parks and nature preserves can be found both in town and nearby, including the spectacular South Mountain Reservation and Watching Reservation. The terrific local schools and low crime rate make the borough quite popular with folks raising families, and the easy access to NJ Transit rail service as well as the Expressway makes it a great option for commuters.
