Why Live in Flanders
Flanders, a community in Mount Olive Township, lies in the German Valley of Morris County, with rolling hills on either side and preserved lands around it. “It’s a Hallmark Movie kind of place,” says Tara W. Lauterbach, an associate broker with Re/Max Heritage Properties, who has lived in Flanders since 2000 and has raised her kids through the school system. “It’s also very diverse. During Covid, families put up yard signs with pictures of their graduating seniors. You could see the diversity in their faces — Asian, Indian, Latino. We attract all cultures because our school system is so great. We’re also 50 miles from Manhattan. Commuters can take a train into the city.”
This semi-rural, affluent community is home to residents who work at places like the corporate headquarters of Siemens Healthcare, the research and development laboratories of Benjamin Moore, and the Innovation Studio of Mars Wrigley products, makers of M&M’s and Snickers. “It’s a great place to live and work,” Lautenbach adds. “Most of the land surrounding Flanders is environmentally protected. We’re not urban but more suburban with a strong country feel. The Columbia Trail comes right to the edge of town.”
