Roosevelt. A small borough with big identity, this former New Deal “Jersey Homesteads” community blends history, art, and open space in a way that feels both distinctive and down-to-earth. Minutes from Allentown and Hightstown in Monmouth County—and within easy reach of East Windsor and Millstone Township—residents enjoy a serene, greenbelt setting with convenient regional access.
Outdoors, weekends often start on the water at the Assunpink Wildlife Management Area, where anglers, paddlers, and birders find year-round appeal at its trio of lakes and surrounding woodlands. The county’s Perrineville Lake Park offers quiet trails, equestrian routes, and lake vistas ideal for an unhurried stroll or family picnic. Cyclists and runners gravitate to the flat, scenic Union Transportation Trail that winds through neighboring farm fields and forest. Roosevelt’s creative streak continues through the Roosevelt Arts Project, which presents intimate concerts, readings, and exhibits that speak to the borough’s artistic roots. The community’s origins are recognized within the Jersey Homesteads Historic District, noted by the state’s historic preservation authorities.
Families appreciate a close-knit K–6 experience at the borough school, with grades 7–12 served by the East Windsor Regional School District, including Melvin H. Kreps Middle School and Hightstown High School in nearby Hightstown. For book lovers and lifelong learners, the Allentown branch of the Monmouth County Library is just around the corner.
