The area is served as United States Postal Service ZIP Code 07850.
As of the 2010 United States Census, the population for ZIP Code Tabulation Area 07850 was 6,436.[5]
From the 1880s through the 1940s, it was a popular summer resort area, but by the 1970s it had evolved into a suburban community.
Landing was established as a resort community. Each summer, it attracted thousands of people to the shores of Lake Hopatcong. After World War II, it began to decline and transform itself into a large suburban neighborhood. In 2017, measures were passed to give the neighborhood a facelift, the plans including several new, modern buildings, parks and signs. The improvements are expected to be complete in late 2022.
