Just 35 miles away from New York, Parsippany-Troy Hills sits within a scenic network of rivers and streams—and job opportunity. Unemployment is low, and many major corporations are headquartered here, including [Actavis](https://www.actavis.com.mt/en/default.htm), [Jackson Hewitt](https://www.jacksonhewitt.com/), and [Wyndham Worldwide](https://www.wyndhamworldwide.com/).

There’s plenty of greenery—roughly [one acre](https://www.njskylands.com/tn_parsippany_091) of parkland for every 100 residents, and some [25 separate parks](https://www.parsippany.net/Departments/Parks-Forestry/), including Craftsman Farms and Hills of Troy Park. At the [Parsippany Rock House](https://www.mountainproject.com/v/parsippany-rock-house/109239330), people can check out 3,000-year-old glacial boulders.

Colonial architecture can be seen in houses like the [Livingston Benedict House](https://parsippanyhistoricalsociety.wordpress.com/tag/the-livingston-benedict-house/) on Old Parsippany Road.  
The art scene is also vibrant, with art galleries like Art Ristocrat and Lakeside Art School and Studio. There’s the 25-year-old [Women’s Theater Company](https://womenstheater.org/shows/), an acting advocacy organization, and the annual [Parsippany Fall Festival Street Fair](https://www.parsippany.net/web_content/acrobat/forms/2017-Fall-Festival-Registration-Form.pdf), with food, entertainment, and rides. *—Annie Nova*
