Parsippany

 

Bespeckled with green spaces, excellent schools, 5-star hotels, and breathtaking scenery, Parsippany is easily one of New Jersey's most desirable and quintessential neighborhoods. A culturally vibrant suburb interweaving industry with residential charm, this peaceful enclave vaunts a central location to various Interstate Highways and big cities like Manhattan, making it well-suited for families, young professionals, and corporations that want headquarters in the Metropolitan area.

Drive through the peaceful streets to explore a mix of elegant townhomes and stunning colonials etched on impeccably maintained lots and relish the tranquil atmosphere of this wonderful locale. 

 

 

A diverse community, Parsippany enjoys a peaceful ambiance tinged with incredible history, a lot of which is embodied by the township's landmark attractions.
