Centrally located Raritan Valley township with the U.S. Route 1 corridor, Rutgers Gardens, and the National Blue Ribbon North Brunswick HS Raiders. Median sale ~$545K.
A growing Route 1 township with a transit village rising. Diverse and family-oriented, with a major redevelopment of the former Johnson & Johnson site bringing a future train station.
North Brunswick is a diverse, growing township just south of the county seat — a 12.03-square-mile community of 43,905 residents (2020) stretched along the U.S. Route 1 corridor. A relatively young, family-oriented town, it sits at the doorstep of New Brunswick and Rutgers while offering more suburban space, and it is in the midst of one of the county's most ambitious redevelopments.
The median sale runs near $545K, spanning townhomes, condos, and single-family homes. The transformation of the former Johnson & Johnson plant into a large mixed-use, transit-oriented village — planned around a future Northeast Corridor station — is reshaping the township's future, alongside attractions like Rutgers Gardens and North Brunswick Community Park. Incorporated in 1860 and served by North Brunswick Township High School (the Raiders) under a township government, it pairs access and growth with everyday value.
