Q: What is the Green Pond Corporation?

A: The Green Pond Corporation is one of two homeowner associations within the Green Pond private lake community in Morris County, NJ. The other is the Lake End Corporation. When a buyer purchases a home within either association, they become a Stockholder — a designation unique to Green Pond that also grants a stockholder interest in the common lands that surround the community. This structure is one of the reasons Green Pond has remained a close-knit, well-preserved community for decades. Buyers who are unfamiliar with this ownership model are strongly encouraged to work with Green Pond Real Estate™ — Marilyn Lapham, Jill Lapham Rotta, and Andrea Fritzsch — who can explain the specifics of both corporations and help match buyers with the right property.
