“It’s a 5-minute village. Walk out your door and you find food, shopping, places to work – a true community. That’s The Green and we are happy to share it with our residents.”
Independence Way is located within The Green, a 268-acre mixed-use corporate campus developed by Rockefeller Group Development Corporation, LLC. This master-planned development is centrally-located in Morris County.
In 2016, Rockefeller Group Development Corporation, LLC, Bergen County’s United Way and Madeline Corporation created a partnership that would introduce supportive living into The Green. Rock Group felt a development of this type would align with the community spirit of The Green. More importantly, they believed that residents would enjoy a high quality of life on their campus with employment opportunities, recreation, education and transportation readily available.
Independence Way is a community thoughtfully-designed by Z+Architects of Allendale, New Jersey. It includes 62 independent living apartments spread across seven low-rise apartment buildings. Apartment entries are accessible from an interior hallway. Second and third floor apartments are accessible by elevator or stairs.
Living options include 36 one-bedroom apartments and 26 two-bedroom apartments. These barrier-free apartments offer ample living space, a full kitchen, a private bedroom and an in-unit washer and dryer. The one-bedroom apartments average 800 square feet; the two-bedroom apartments average 1,100 square feet.
Each of the apartment buildings is equipped with amenities such as outdoor patios with barbecues and interior community rooms that foster a sense of community. A walking path unites all the buildings and provides a safe and accessible option for daily exercise.
A highly-trained concierge will oversee day-to-day operations and provide support services as needed. 24/7 video monitoring will provide an added layer of security.
Independence Way was designed to take advantage of all The Green has to offer including on-site transportation through Access Link, employment opportunities at local businesses, educational events at Fairleigh Dickinson University as well as high-quality housing that allows for sense of community and ease of living.
