Get to Know Chatham

Chatham is an idyllic gem of a town with a quaint, walkable downtown and a warm, welcoming community. Locals often refer to the area as “The Chathams,” as it encompasses Chatham Borough, Chatham Township, and Green Village, a hamlet within the township. This is the kind of place where the local drugstore, Liberty Drug and Surgical, has an ice cream counter that can whip up an old-fashioned egg cream or malt while you wait for your prescription. As one of the last compounding pharmacies still in business, Liberty Drug will even compound pet prescriptions — the kind of personalized service that has earned the loyalty of their customers since 1965. The borough has a village green with a gazebo in the middle that hosts concert throughout the summer and there’s also the very active Chatham Newcomers and Social Club, which welcomes all and hosts book clubs, playgroups, and game nights throughout the year.

Living in Northern New Jersey

Northern New Jersey is often thought of as a series of New York City suburbs, but in true Jersey spirit, the region has a definite personality of its own. Many of the villages here — or rather, townships and boroughs as they are known in Jersey parlance — offer a mix of small-town charm and big-city culture. These are places where there’s still a village green in the middle of town and walkable downtowns with family-owned businesses. Here, you’ll find a pharmacy with an old-fashioned ice cream counter that can make an egg cream on the spot and a diner inside a railroad car. But Northern New Jersey is also home to much of New York City’s commuting creative class, which means excellent bookstores, a world-class film festival, and a tiny newspaper — the Montclair Local — whose board is packed with top editors from the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal.
