I am locally grown...meaning born in Lake Parsippany in the "A" frame that is still there.  I watched the Lake Parsippany area grow and become the corporate center to many businesses.  Lake Parsippany is community-oriented and I personally love being a member of Lake Parsippany Property Owners Association (LPPOA).  You can have an ambience here that you would travel to a southern state and be on vacation to achieve.  For example, beyond the boating and fishing and swimming there are the movie nights on the beach, the camp-out nights (kids and parents put up tents, tell stories, barbecue), and the annual swim across the lake for youngsters.  Lake Parsippany offers much within walking distance, assuming you can walk a mile or 2.  I am most pleased that you can have a healthy lifestyle here, you can walk to a job at one of the many businesss in the Sylvan Way / Entin Road business park complex.  You can take a train to NYC from Morris Plains.  For young people who like a party environment, you have close access to nightlife provided by locating your self in Morristown area which is becoming according to town planners, the next Hoboken.  The Parsippany and Morris County area is a popular location for commuting to a super large job market which goes east to NYC, south to Bedminster, north to Mahwah, and west to the International Trade Zone and Mars Candy in Hackettstown.   Please see my website JoyPiper.com for tools to do market and price evaluations, home searches, neighborhood and town demographics, school rankings, and links to important information that will get you to felling "at home" in shorter time.  Its a gift of caring from me to you.  I hope you will reach out and call me direct, Joy Piper at .  973-585-4069.  Office 973-232-2230.
