Deciding to relocate because of a new job or life experience is exciting. One should be looking forward to this new chapter with the confidence of a location that provides a wealth of job opportunities and meets personal needs. There are only a handful of places that offer the ability to advance – especially in specialized fields. Morris County, New Jersey, is one of the most dynamic locations in the country that delivers on five key considerations when exploring relocation.

Location: The state offers unrivaled road and rail networks along with 2,9000 miles of interstates and highways. The county is a 30-minute drive to New York City, four hours to Boston, and only three to Washington, D.C. Throw multiple international airports and same day business hours with Europe, that’s why the county is home to over 33 Fortune 500 companies.

Education: Whether for career advancement or family opportunities, few states can rival the options available in New Jersey. There are 63 public and private colleges and universities, with 99% of residents living within a 30-minute drive from a higher education facility.

Diversity: The county is rich in multiculturalism, and the state boasts the third-largest population of foreign-born residents in the nation.

Lifestyle: Morris County is a thriving location for play. The area provides a vibrant mix of bustle, charm, and culture, from parks to historical sites to museums and cultural attractions.

Home: From modern townhomes to historic residences to elite long-term living communities, Morris County offers a range of living environments that suits every need.
