Established in 1913, Denville grew from a collection of historic lake communities into the "Hub of Morris County." The township features four scenic lake communities - Cedar Lake, Indian Lake, Rock Ridge, and Lake Arrowhead - originally developed as summer colonies in the early 1900s. These waterfront areas now provide year-round recreation and natural beauty. The walkable downtown area along Broadway features independently owned shops, cafes, and restaurants, creating an intimate main street experience with historic architecture and local charm.

Rental options in Denville include apartment communities, townhomes, and single-family residences nestled among the township's hills and lakes. The four lake communities offer waterfront properties with access to private beaches and boating opportunities. Non-lake neighborhoods like Bald Hill and Union Hill provide peaceful settings with mature trees and landscaped properties.

Located 35 miles west of Manhattan, Denville serves commuters well with its centrally located train station offering service to New York City via both the Morristown and Montclair-Boonton lines. The township's position provides easy access to major highways including Routes 10, 53, 46, and Interstate 80. The 13-square-mile township includes The Tourne County Park, a 547-acre preserve featuring hiking trails, cross-country skiing paths, and the Tourne summit, which offers panoramic views of the Manhattan skyline on clear days.
