Rockaway Borough, Morris County
What we see in Rockaway Borough
Rockaway Borough is a small town along the Rockaway River in north-central Morris County, bordered only by Rockaway Township and Denville. Interstate 80 clips its northeast corner at Exit 37, and Route 46 crosses the south end. Once known as Rockaway Village, it became a borough in 1894. About 6,600 people live here, in roughly 2,600 homes. Morris Hills High School is in the borough, and Lakeland buses run along Main Street.
Selling a house in Rockaway Borough: what's different here
Rockaway River
The Rockaway River flows through the borough between Dover and Denville. During Hurricane Irene in 2011 it crested about 6 feet above its previous record, and downstream Denville saw homes under as much as 8 feet of water. Riverside homes can face flood-insurance questions. We buy them as-is.
An old village center
Rockaway's First Presbyterian Church was founded in 1758, and many Revolutionary War veterans are buried in its cemetery. Main Street and the train tracks appeared in the 2003 film The Station Agent. Older houses near the center often need updates buyers' lenders want done first. We pay cash instead.
No train stop since 1948
Passenger trains stopped serving Rockaway in 1948, so commuters use Denville or Dover stations, and Lakeland buses run along Main Street to Manhattan. Buyers who want a walkable rail commute look elsewhere first. If your house has been hard to sell, we can buy it for cash.

Questions from Rockaway Borough sellers
Rockaway Borough FAQ
Is Rockaway Borough different from Rockaway Township?
Yes. The borough split from the township in 1894 and has its own government. We buy houses in both.
My house is near the Rockaway River. Will you buy it?
Yes. We buy Rockaway Borough homes near the river as-is, with no flood repairs required first.
Do all the heirs have to agree before an inherited house can be sold?
In New Jersey, an inherited house is sold through the estate, so the executor or court-appointed administrator signs the sale. We talk with each heir separately and privately, so no one has to negotiate as a group, and we'll walk you through getting an administrator appointed if that hasn't happened yet.
How fast can you close on a Rockaway Borough house?
Thirty days is typical, and clean files can move faster. If you need more time, we'll write the date you want into the contract.
Are you a local company?
Yes. We're a New Jersey company based in Toms River, and we buy in all 21 counties, including Morris County. We are BBB accredited with an A+ rating, listed under our affiliate Gembrook Properties.
