Characteristics

Transportation

The favored way to move around in this part of the Greater New York metropolitan area is very often a car. Parking is generally easy, and many homes for sale are a rather short car ride from the closest highway, such as I-280. East Hanover is not especially bicycling-friendly since the cycling infrastructure is fairly poor, and there are a good number of elevation changes. It is also difficult for pedestrians to move around in East Hanover as meeting daily needs is at times challenging without the use of a vehicle.

Services

Property owners in East Hanover commonly have to use a car to travel to one of about 20 supermarkets. Nevertheless, reaching the nearest pharmacy and thus some basic food items is usually convenient. A restaurant is commonly just around the corner, for example along Ridgedale Avenue, and a small variety of coffee shops is available as well. As far as education is concerned, it is a reasonably short trip to reach primary schools from most properties for sale in East Hanover. On the other hand, high schools are not very plentiful and thus not always within a short distance. Along with public schools, there are private elementary and high schools.

Character

East Hanover offers a calm ambience and will appeal to home buyers who enjoy spending time outdoors. Accessing public green spaces in the township, like Troy Meadows and Brendan P. Tevlin Fields, is very easy since there are about 40 of them close by for residents to check out. This part of the Greater New York metropolitan area is very quiet overall, as the streets tend to be very peaceful.
