Highland Park, NJ homes for sale & real estate.

Browse homes for sale in Highland Park, New Jersey. Highland Park is a compact, walkable borough of roughly 15,000 residents perched on the northern bank of the Raritan River, directly across from New Brunswick and Rutgers University. Long a "bedroom community" for the university and the area's hospitals, it has an academic, diverse, and close-knit character - and a housing mix of well-preserved mid-century Colonials, historic homes, two-family houses, and apartments.

Highland Park's appeal is its walkability and location. Its Raritan Avenue downtown is a tree-lined, walkable Main Street of independent shops, diverse restaurants, and a Friday farmers market, and the borough sits minutes from Rutgers University , Robert Wood Johnson and Saint Peter's hospitals, and the New Brunswick Northeast Corridor station just across the Raritan River. River Road (CR 622) follows the river, and U.S. Route 1 and Route 18 are just beyond the borders. With its walkable lifestyle and small footprint, Highland Park generally prices around Middlesex County's ~$535,000 median.
