Mountain Lakes is a growing, thriving community of professional people who would love nothing more than to
welcome you to their town. Morris County is among the fastest growing counties in the New Jersey,
New York, Connecticut metropolitan region.

Beautiful homes and gardens predominate, both in housing developments, many of them located on
the estates of former millionaires, to small country estates. New construction is constant. Mountain Lakes
has more single-family homes than rental units, and has geared itself towards families, and couples.
Homes sell in the region of $200,000 and up, which for this region is reasonable. Around half Mountain
Lakes homes predate WWII. Mountain Lakes is also known for the original architecture of its numerous
Hapsgood houses. Average home sales fall in the mid $700,000 range. Residential real estate availability ranges
from smaller starter lake area homes to larger, newer lakefront mansions.

The Mountain Lakes borough was incorporated in 1924 and was one of the first planned residential commuter communities in Morris County.
