Buying a Home in Boonton, NJ

Boonton is one of Morris County's best-kept secrets: a historic town built into a hillside above the Rockaway River, with a genuinely charming Main Street, an emerging arts and food scene, its own train station — and some of the most attainable prices in this part of the county. It sits directly beside Mountain Lakes, where Romila's office is based.

Why Buyers Love Boonton

Main Street Boonton has real character — vintage storefronts, restaurants, an arts community and events like the farmers market. Grace Lord Park's waterfall is a local icon. The housing stock is full of Victorians, colonials and charming older homes, and the Boonton train station offers direct commuter service.

The Market

Boonton is often the most affordable entry point into this corner of Morris County, with many homes trading in the $350K–$650K range. First-time buyers get more house for the money here, and renovated Victorians near Main Street have shown strong appreciation.
