City - Highland Park

Nestled along the Raritan River in the suburbs of New Jersey, Highland Park features a safe community and a college town vibe. Surrounded by campuses of Rutgers University, Highland Park is the perfect place for students and faculty. Rentals rage from affordable to upscale, offering something for everyone. This college town is also known for its top-notch public school system, offering gems like Highland Park High School.

Markets, coffee shops, cafes, banks, and convenience stores can all be found in Highland Park, along with a few small businesses along Raritan Avenue. However, this suburb is mainly residential, offering a tight-knit community and family-friendly atmosphere. Highland Park is located about 35 miles southwest of New York City and about 65 miles northeast of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
