Located at 40 East Hanover Avenue in Morris Plains, NJ, this single-story clubhouse delivers a polished and welcoming environment for residents. The space is thoughtfully organized across a compact yet efficient footprint, encompassing a grand entrance lobby, a fitness center, and additional support areas. The entrance lobby immediately impresses with its soaring vaulted ceiling and large-format porcelain tile flooring that reflects natural light streaming through the glass-paneled double entry doors, accented by a transom window above. Two striking gold spiral chandeliers serve as dramatic focal points, casting warm light throughout the corridor. Built-in seating with upholstered cushions lines one wall, while a textured mosaic credenza and a bold geometric mirror add refined decorative touches. Subtle ambient lighting, including colorful accent panels, contributes to a vibrant yet sophisticated atmosphere. The fitness center is generously outfitted with a comprehensive range of equipment, including strength-training machines, free weights, cardio machines such as ellipticals and a StairMaster, and flat bench stations. Floor-to-ceiling mirrors expand the sense of space, while large windows allow natural light to flood in, creating an energizing workout environment. The durable resilient flooring is well-suited for active use. Together, these spaces establish the clubhouse as a functional and aesthetically elevated amenity hub.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
