Nearly 5,000 acres of county and state parkland scattered throughout the town offer unprecedented recreational diversity.
The township provides approximately 25,000 residents with five unique regions of residential and commercial growth. Long-established and residential Cragmere Park is composed primarily of single-family homes. West Mahwah is also largely residential in nature but contains some industry. The town center, Mahwah Proper, provides excellent city services and the formerly rural areas of Fardale and Masonicus now offer numerous single-family residences and condominium developments. Other distinct neighborhoods within Mahwah include the Rio Vista Estates, Polo Club, Deerhaven, and Scotch Hills.
Mahwah is a desirable location for businesses and families alike, offering a thriving municipal center and productive industrial areas as well as sublime residential neighborhoods and rural farmland.
