Highland Park (08904) is a leafy borough perched above the Raritan River, steps from downtown New Brunswick and Rutgers. You'll find a walkable main street along Raritan Avenue with independent shops, Pino’s wine shop and live music, Bridge Turkish & Mediterranean Grill, Jerusalem Pizza, cozy cafes, plus Stop & Shop, weekly farmers markets, and nearby Menlo Park Mall. Green spaces are a big draw: Donaldson Park’s riverfront paths, fields, and dog-friendly areas connect to Johnson Park and the East Coast Greenway for easy biking and jogging. Four true seasons mean warm, humid summers and crisp, snowy winters.

Recent Zillow Market Trends show a median asking rent around $2,600 over the past few months, with most listings ranging roughly $2,000–$3,400. The vibe is diverse, creative, and community oriented, buoyed by university energy yet relaxed at night; expect yoga studios and quick access to the New Brunswick NJ Transit station, Route 1, Route 18, and the Turnpike for commuters. It’s notably pet friendly and family friendly, with walkable streets and frequent cultural events and street fairs.

Pedestrian-friendly layout encourages walking to shops, dining, and parks.
