Metuchen Real Estate & Homes for Sale in New Jersey

Located in the heart of central New Jersey, Metuchen captures the spirit of “small town USA” just 25 miles from Manhattan. Metuchen’s residents often walk or jog down its tree-lined streets, shop in the quaint Main Street stores, frequent the many playgrounds and parks and gather at the annual events like parades, the arts and crafts festival and the country fair. Local residents often get to know their local merchants and get personalized service they find missing at large chain stores in the nearby shopping malls. Aside from its “neighborly” small-town friendliness, Metuchen’s age differentiates it from its more modern suburban neighboring towns. From the Victorian era horse-watering trough on Middlesex Avenue to its many charming restored historic homes, Metuchen retains a historic character and timeless stability. Also known as “The Brainy Borough” because of the many professionals, artists, educators and literary figures who lived here, Metuchen developed primarily due to its location and access to key transportation routes. From Metuchen it is easy to commute to New York City by train or bus, or to Newark, Trenton, or nearby Rutgers University in New Brunswick. The borough has about 13,000 residents that enjoy the quality of life including parks, great schools, easy transportation access to the surrounding area and a historic character that is hard to match.
