The standard for fiscal efficiency—suburban neighborhood charm and significantly low residential property taxes.
Hanover Township, comprising the distinct residential enclaves of Whippany and Cedar Knolls, is one of Morris County's most strategically positioned municipalities. It is a true suburban community, defined not by a central downtown, but by its deep inventory of well-maintained, mid-century neighborhoods and its robust economic foundation.
Due to its significant commercial tax base—housing global corporate headquarters—residential property taxes remain among the lowest in the region. This unique fiscal structure allows for exceptional public infrastructure and high-performing schools while offering residents a quiet, neighborhood-centric lifestyle.
