Montville Township — including the Towaco and Pine Brook sections — is one of Morris County's most prestigious addresses, known for excellent schools, larger lots, and luxury enclaves tucked into rolling, semi-rural surroundings. It's also where Romila made township history.
Montville offers a rare mix: a top-rated school district, estate-style neighborhoods with privacy and acreage, and convenient access to Routes 287, 80 and 46. Towaco has its own NJ Transit station on the Montclair-Boonton line. The township consistently ranks among New Jersey's best places to live.
Montville skews upscale — many single-family homes trade between $700K and $1.5M, with luxury properties well beyond that. Newer construction in communities like Stoney Pond commands premium prices, and demand for the school district keeps competition strong.
In March 2024, Romila represented the buyer of 6 Stoney Pond Way — a 10,537 sq ft estate on 3.93 acres that closed at $3,625,000, the highest residential sale in Montville Township history. She has also sold in Towaco (18 Rathbun Rd, $962K), and a repeat Montville client calls her 'the best in the business.'
Many lake communities are run by private associations with annual dues, membership rules, and beach or boating rights. Terms vary, so Romila reviews them with buyers before an offer.
Inspection tip, radon: 21% of 4,634 homes tested in Montville measured at or above 4 pCi/L, the level where the EPA and NJDEP recommend fixing it (NJDEP Tier 2, moderate potential). The state recommends testing every home; a mitigation system typically runs about $1,200. Learn more.
