Most people are familiar with Princeton as the home of one of America’s top universities, and that is certainly a huge part of the community’s overall character. Princeton University brings museums, performance centers, sporting events, beautiful architecture, and an enormous degree of intellectual capital to the broader community. The academic excellence extends into the public education system as well, with the local schools earning top marks.
Numerous public parks and Carnegie Lake provide terrific venues for residents to get outdoors, and the Nassau Street downtown district is a great area to explore on foot. New York City and Philadelphia are both easily reachable within ninety minutes, and the beaches of the Jersey Shore are only about an hour to the east.
