Why Live in Independence Township
Independence Township is a peaceful community with just shy of 5,500 residents. “There are differing degrees of rural in Warren County,” Broker Joan O’Brien with Re/Max Town & Valley, who is a 42-year Warren County resident, jokes. “Independence Township is not quite as rural.” The area features significant suburban development, but there isn’t a large commercial presence here. However, Hackettstown and U.S. Interstate 80 are a short drive away, allowing residents to run errands or commute to work in surrounding areas. But close to home, streets are secluded, and mature trees shade grassy front lawns. “Once I got used to the quiet, I never wanted to leave,” O’Brien says. Some homes in Independence Township sit in established subdivisions, where curbs line the streets and grassy lawns are well-maintained. Others dot farmland and have long driveways leading to their garages. Potential homebuyers can find townhouses, the type of residence with the most inventory, or condos for about $250,000 to $420,000. Ranch-style homes can cost $380,000 to $440,000, while Colonial revivals typically run in the $500,000 to $900,000 range. Prices depend on a property’s size, age and condition. The
