Parsippany-Troy Hills is Morris County's largest township and one of its most active real estate markets. With direct access to Routes 80, 287, 46 and 10, major corporate headquarters, and a wonderfully diverse community, Parsippany offers strong value for the money — and it's one of Romila's busiest markets.
Location is the headline: nearly every North Jersey commute is manageable from Parsippany. The township spans distinct neighborhoods — Lake Hiawatha, Lake Parsippany, Troy Hills, Powder Mill and more — each with its own character. Buyers get parks, lakes, a large library system, and one of the most internationally diverse communities in New Jersey.
Parsippany's range is wide: starter homes and capes from the $400Ks, renovated splits and colonials in the $600K–$800K range, and larger newer homes above $1M. Homes here sell fast — competitively priced listings often go under contract within two weeks with multiple offers.
Parsippany is home turf for Romila. Current and recent activity includes 11 Dolly Dr ($699K), 310 Halsey Rd ($1,089,000) and 58 Navajo Ave in Lake Hiawatha ($799K), both now under contract, and sales at 3 Woodhaven Rd ($750K), 20 Druid Hill Rd ($945K), 25 Wenonah Ave and 12 Carlson Pl. A Parsippany first-time buyer called her 'a powerhouse... 100% honest' in a five-star review.
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.
