About Highland Park

Highland Park is a community of approximately 14,563 residents in Middlesex County, NJ. With a median home value of $430,000, homeowners here have significant property to protect.

Eclectic housing stock from the early 1900s through 1940s. Craftsman bungalows, colonials, and two-family homes. Compact, walkable layout popular with Rutgers faculty. Rising prices due to proximity to New Brunswick and Rutgers.

Compact walkable borough (1.8 sq mi): early 1900s-1940s Craftsman bungalows, American Foursquares, and modest colonials on narrow lots (30-50 ft wide). Two-family homes are extremely common — estimated 30%+ of housing stock. Brick and wood frame construction with full basements. Some 1960s apartment buildings near the New Brunswick border. Very limited new construction due to built-out character. The walkable, tree-lined layout popular with Rutgers faculty and young professionals has driven median values to $430K despite modest housing sizes.

Risk Factors

  • Raritan River floods devastate the borough's southern boundary — the Albany Street Bridge area and Donaldson Park experienced catastrophic flooding during Hurricanes Irene (2011) and Ida (2021)
  • Early 1900s Craftsman bungalows and colonials have original building systems that are 80-100+ years old and well past their functional lifespan
  • Compact lots (30-50 ft wide) and shared party walls in two-family homes mean a building system failure in one unit frequently causes damage to the adjacent property
  • Aging municipal combined sewer/stormwater system causes basement sewage backups during moderate-to-heavy rainfall — a persistent borough-wide infrastructure challenge
  • Rising property values and renovation activity are uncovering hidden issues — knob-and-tube wiring, lead service lines, and asbestos pipe insulation in 1920s-40s homes

Water System

Served by Middlesex Water Company via the Raritan River treatment system. The compact borough has a relatively uniform distribution network, though some early 1900s infrastructure remains in service. Properties near the Raritan River experience groundwater infiltration during high water events. Walkable borough popular with Rutgers faculty and young professionals.

Emergency Access

Route 27 (Raritan Avenue) is the primary east-west corridor connecting to New Brunswick via the Albany Street Bridge and to Edison via Woodbridge Avenue. Cleveland Avenue and South Adelaide Avenue are north-south connectors. NJ Transit bus service runs through the borough. No rail station (nearest: New Brunswick). The compact 1.8 square mile borough means any address is reachable in 3-5 minutes from within town. New Brunswick-based providers are 5-8 minutes away. Albany Street Bridge flooding can cut off access to/from New Brunswick during river flood events.
