Visit for the Day, Stay for a Lifetime!
Got a few hours to explore someplace new? Stroll along Peddie Lake, admire the architecture in our Historic District, browse the downtown shops, then cross the street to study the carvings on our new obelisk fountain, commemorating Hightstown’s history as an agricultural and transportation hub in central New Jersey. In the evening, attend a cultural performance at the Peddie School, grab a drink at our local tavern, or view an art opening at a local gallery. Year-round, our community and local business owners host special events and promotions to entice day visitors and residents alike.
Looking to relocate? Hightstown is the perfect home for young professionals, retirees and families who want easy access to the tri-state metropolitan area, but without the congestion and suburban sprawl. Take a step back in time and enjoy small-town life where people stop to chat with newcomers and neighbors. When you’re talking politics with our local business owners, playing with your kids at one of our small recreational parks or biking along our greenway, you might almost forget that we’re only a stone’s throw from the NJ Turnpike, with every major retail service available within a mile.
Resident Spotlight - Mellany Alio & Pat Duncan
"On a whim, we drove through Hightstown and simply fell in love. We weren't even looking for a house at the time, but the charming community made us change our minds. Honestly, we didn't do any research, but somehow just knew this was a good place to be. Three years later, our hunch has been confirmed. We never get tired of walking downtown to grab a bite, go to the library, shop - or even just pick up the paper. Further, we are thrilled to be in one of the few communities that is truly diverse. We are here to stay."
