Living in Middlesex County, NJ

Middlesex County sits in the heart of Central Jersey, about halfway between New York City and Philadelphia. Its 25 municipalities range from walkable downtowns like Metuchen and Highland Park to large suburban townships like Edison, Woodbridge and Monroe, and the county seat of New Brunswick is home to Rutgers University.

That variety is what makes the county such a strong place to buy. You can find historic homes near a train station, new construction with room to spread out, 55+ active adult communities, and condos and townhomes at nearly every price point.
