New Jersey's oldest township — ten sections and Metropark. Chartered in 1669, the state's most populous township: distinct communities and a premier rail commute.
Woodbridge is New Jersey's oldest original township and one of its largest communities — a 23.26-square-mile township of 103,639 residents (2020) at the crossroads of the state's busiest highways and rail lines. Chartered in 1669, it is really a collection of ten distinct sections — from Iselin and Colonia to Fords and Avenel — each with its own identity, ZIP code, and character.
The median sale runs near $525K, with enormous variety across single-family homes, townhomes, and condos. The Metropark station in Iselin offers one of New Jersey's premier rail commutes to New York, the Garden State Parkway, NJ Turnpike, and Routes 1 & 9 all converge here, and the township is served by three high schools — Woodbridge (the Barrons), Colonia (the Patriots), and John F. Kennedy Memorial. Run under a township government, Woodbridge offers more choice than almost any town in the region.
