The Borough of Mountain Lakes is located in northeast Morris County. Mountain Lakes is bordered by Parsippany Troy Hill in the south and east, Boonton Town to the northeast, Boonton Township to the north and Denville Township to the west. Stone pillars at either end of town are a unique entrance to this lovely community.
This character of the community, the sense of place, is intangible. The town has been beautifully preserved, including :
- The Natural Setting -- Glacial terminal moraine, rolling hills, woods and lakes, boulderstone.
- The Design on the Land -- The layout conceived by Hapgood and Holton, his landscape architect; landscape as the prime determinant of the original plan; emphasis on aesthetic use of topography and hydrology; design around the lakes.
- The Built Environment -- Dominance of boulderstone in community buildings, foundations, walls, pillars; the houses -- eclectic but with an all-important family resemblance; largely stucco with Arts and Crafts features; great congruity between landscape and architecture (simple, naturalistic and traditional).
- Continuity in Design and Lifestyle -- Design integrity preserved even while the community undergoes change; newer homes fitted into the lots and layout of Hapgood's original design; present road designs, watercourses and lakes the same as in the original community.
The town of Mountain Lakes, NJ is surrounded by Sunset Lake, Crystal Lake, Birchwood Lake.
