“The Region”

What do you call a region that offers every type of amenity and entertainment under the sun? We call it home and so can you. That’s what living and working in Morris County, New Jersey can provide. While Morristown itself has plenty to offer from a lively downtown scene filled with restaurants, bars, concert venues, parks, museums and more, the region itself offers so much more. Pick a direction from MMU and go explore. To the east, you’ll find Hoboken, one of the nation’s top ranked towns for young professionals. Not to mention, just across the Hudson River in Hoboken, lies the city that never sleeps. To the west and north, skiing, hiking (on the Appalachian trail no less) and any other outdoor activity you can find here in New Jersey and with our neighbors New York and Pennsylvania. To the south, 127 miles of coastline await along the Jersey Shore.

Whether you enjoy live sporting events (with 11 professional teams in driving distance!), bustling city life (New York should fit the bill here), exploring the outdoors, or anything in between, working and living here in Morris County opens up endless possibilities.
