A wooded, low-density township
with significant acreage and a quiet luxury tier.

The Character of Boonton Township

Different from Boonton Town.

Boonton Township is not the same place as Boonton Town. The Township wraps the more urban Town on three sides, and the difference is substantial: where Boonton Town is a compact, walkable downtown, the Township is wooded, low-density, and built on multi-acre lots. The two share a name and a school district affiliation, but as real estate markets they couldn't be more different.

The luxury market in Boonton Township sits in the $800K to $2M+ range for substantial homes on the township's larger wooded lots. The northern and western reaches near Powerville Road and Old Boonton Road see the highest-end activity, with several recent transactions well above $2M.

I-287 and Route 80 access is quick; the Boonton Line of NJ Transit serves nearby Boonton station for direct rail to Hoboken and Penn Station. The township sits ~30 miles from Midtown Manhattan.
