Highland Park balances small-town ease with big-city access, sitting just across the Raritan River from New Brunswick. Its walkable downtown along Raritan Avenue hums with indie cafes, global eateries, and a weekly farmers market, while live music and gallery pop-ups reflect the creative energy that comes from being neighbors with Rutgers University and the storied State Theatre New Jersey. Tree-lined streets frame early 20th-century homes and thoughtfully designed newer condos, giving movers a range of choices without sacrificing community feel.
Outdoors, riverfront parks offer ballfields, boat launches, playgrounds, and wide-open skies for joggers, cyclists, and stargazers. Families appreciate the well-regarded Highland Park Public Schools, known for rigorous academics, robust arts and music, and inclusive extracurriculars. The Highland Park Public Library anchors lifelong learning with author talks, tech help, and after-school programs, while county trails and services expand your options through Middlesex County. Commuters enjoy quick links to major highways and rail service via nearby stations, putting Manhattan and the Shore within easy reach.
