Small community where homes are often passed down through generations
If homebuyers are looking for a neighborly community, they can find it in Colonia, says Daniel D'Arcy, a broker-associate with Re/Max 1st Advantage and a Colonia resident. It's common for those who grew up in Colonia to move back. "Many of the houses are still owned by the original owners through their children," D'Arcy says. D'Arcy's brother, for example, now owns the house they grew up in. "That says something about the town," D'Arcy says.
Colonia is mostly residential, so locals will most likely have to leave the community for work. In greater Middlesex County, the top industries include healthcare, food service and manufacturing. Colonia is also just 20 miles south of Newark and about 30 miles south of Manhattan.
Colonia is a close-knit community where many homes are passed down through generations.

Competitively priced homes often receive multiple offers
Ranch-style homes and Cape Cods were built primarily in the mid- to late-1950s, but Colonia also has newer millennium mansions. "If you put anything on the market today and price it right, you are getting multiple offers in the first week, and with those offers, you're getting over asking price," D'Arcy says. Single-family homes sell for a median of $610,000, which is higher than the state and national median.
Colonia features charming Cape Cod homes, many built in the mid-to-late 1950s, adding to its classic appeal.
Colonia blends history with modernity, featuring newer millennium mansions alongside classic homes.
