Our Neighborhood
Just west of Morristown, New Jersey, the land rises sharply to 1,000 feet above sea level, 500 feet above the plains below. The high ridge, covered with trees of the mixed deciduous forest, punctuated with outcroppings of granite, affords fine views of Morris Plains and Morristown.
Eons ago, while geologic forces were forming this granite ridge, a curious form of rock, salmon pink with white spots developed. Commonly called Puddingstone, this attractive unusual rock lent its name to the locality along the ridge.
Today, the community known as Puddingstone Heights is not just a suburban development. It's a place rare in today's world, a community where one can live a modern life in concert with the natural environment, a neighborhood where people know and care for their neighbors, a small community of quiet tree-lined roads, alive with the beauty of New Jersey's flora and fauna. Home sites are landscaped within the natural beauty of the high ridge, unlike so many developments where sites are transformed into a landscaper's artificial version of nature.
Perhaps those attracted to Puddingstone are people who are interested in others, in nature and in their environment. This tendency is enhanced by the Puddingstone Community Club. The club provides a framework for neighborhood activities, organizes social functions, greets newcomers and looks out for common community political interests.
