Bicentennial Park and plenty of nature
Large swathes of undisturbed nature and trees are among this area's greatest strengths. “It’s a township that borders the rural Farrington Lake community — with its beautiful homes — and the Bicentennial Park," Zastko says. Created in 1976 to honor the 200th anniversary of American independence, the park is among East Brunswick’s most distinctive features. Bordering the manmade reservoir of Farrington Lake, it includes 34 acres of preserved nature and provides opportunities to fish and kayak in the lake, play soccer and tennis, or even enjoy beach volleyball.
Bicentennial Park hosts youth and recreational summer basketball tournaments at the new court.

Shopping centered around Brunswick Square Mall
East Brunswick has diverse offerings within its expansive boundaries. “It’s the larger of the surrounding townships, with a mix of different industries, such as shopping, retail and offices on the highways," Zastko says. "You have the Brunswick Square Mall, just off 18, which is a large retail mall and a hub of entertainment; there’s also a lot of different chains on Route 18.” Brunswick Square is packed with shops and activities; visitors can browse the clothing selections at JCPenney and Macy’s, look for new reads at Barnes & Noble, or enjoy seafood at the nautically decorated Twisted Crab.

A commuter hub with multiple transit options to New York City
New York City is typically accessible within an hour to an hour and a half, with the New Jersey Turnpike offering residents of the Brunswicks a straight shot to the Big Apple. “People like the close proximity to the major highways and byways, being close to the turnpike and parkway," Zastko says. "It’s close to local bus terminals and train stations; it’s a commuter hub.”
