City - Piscataway

Piscataway is a wonderful, quiet town located less than an hour’s drive from the hustle and bustle of New York City. Piscataway houses a significant portion of Robert Wood Johnson Medical School and the Busch and Livingston campuses of Rutgers University, the state university of New Jersey. As such, the community is a popular choice for students, faculty, and staff. Rental options abound in Piscataway, from luxury apartments and modest condos to spacious houses and charming townhomes.

Golf courses, sports stadiums, parks, river views, and historical architecture are just a few of the unique finds you’ll discover in Piscataway. A must-visit spot is the East Jersey Old Town Village, where restored buildings from the 18th and 19th centuries offer historic and educational insight to residents and visitors alike.
