Chatham Township Reviews

Chatham is an idyllic city suburb. Safe, good schools, on the mid-town direct train line to NYC, and quaint downtown. Downside is that it is very homogeneous. That said, you can be as wrapped up in the stepford-wife atmosphere as much or as little as you want.
Review Chatham Township
If people could understand that money doesn't buy class and that inclusiveness is good, it might be better.
Chatham is a great place for families with and for those who need to commute into Manhattan for work.
