The Borough of Chatham offers a business-friendly environment with low tax rates, highly-skilled workers, convenient access to all modes of transportation, beautiful residential neighborhoods, a vibrant downtown corridor, and an award-winning school district.
At only 2.4 square miles with 9,022 residents, the borough, with an old-fashioned downtown tree-lined Main Street suggests an earlier, less frantic decade, even though busy state Route 24 and Interstate 78 are just a few miles away. Chatham’s charm comes out of small mom and pop businesses that dot the street, making it a highly walkable destination.
The easy access doesn’t stop at the tracks! Chatham is nestled right along Routes 24 and 78 in a really ideal region. It is far enough off the beaten bath to be quiet and safe but close enough that it gives Chatham residents a quick escape whether they want to go west and spend a day at a farm or lake or east to New York City for the day. By car, the average drive to Manhattan – depending on exact destination and traffic conditions – takes 37 minutes. Chatham residents have access to major commuter routes, such as Route 287, Interstate 78, the Garden State Parkway, and the New Jersey Turnpike.
