Six Mile Run blends preserved countryside with commuter convenience in Franklin Township, part of Somerset County and minutes from both New Brunswick and Princeton. Quiet streets, spacious lots, and access to trails create a relaxing home base, while nearby hubs deliver dining, arts, and everyday services.
Outdoor enthusiasts prize the Six Mile Run Reservoir Site, a broad expanse of fields, forest, and stream corridors threaded with miles of multi-use trails. It’s a favorite for mountain biking, hiking, horseback riding, and birding, with four-season scenery and trailheads spread around the area. Local nature preserves and the larger Delaware and Raritan Canal corridor add even more green space just a short drive away.
Families appreciate strong local academics through the Franklin Township Public Schools, including Franklin High School’s wide course offerings and extracurriculars. Lifelong learners are close to Rutgers University for lectures, athletics, and cultural venues, while the Franklin Township Public Library anchors community programming. Commuters reach major employment centers via Routes 27 and 1, I‑287, and the Turnpike, with NJ Transit service from nearby stations offering direct access to Newark and New York.
Whether you’re eyeing a trail-adjacent home or a quiet cul-de-sac, Six Mile Run offers space to breathe without sacrificing accessibility. If you’re ready to buy or sell here, Agent Pronto can introduce you to a top local real estate agent who knows the market inside and out.
