Harding has been able to preserve the best of living in Morris County due to its aggressive zoning laws (most areas have a 3-acre minimum lot size requirement) and a population dedicated to preserving its bucolic, yet vibrant, nature. This 20 square mile township lies between 2 national preserves: Jockey Hollow Park and the Great Swamp National Wildlife Refuge. These set the tone for some of the private and public organizations in Harding, such as the Harding Township/Green Village Bridle Path Association, the Great Swamp Watershed Association, the Historic Preservation Committee, the Shade Tree Advisory Committee, and The Harding Township Library, a small public library with big plans.

Commuting from Harding is relatively easy. By car quick access to Route 287 is available from 2 entrances (off James Street or North Maple Avenue). By train the Convent Station, Morristown, or Basking Ridge stations service the Midtown Direct Line into NYC.
Most homes in Harding, NJ have their own well and septic system and must arrange for private refuse and recycle pick-up. There is no high school, but the Harding Township Public School accommodates K-8. High school students go to Madison High in nearby Madison, NJ.
As a result, Harding residents enjoy low taxes. Home prices currently range from $425,000 to $16,650,000. If you would like to experience this unique setting, please click here and come visit!
