Located among the bustling “Brunswicks” suburban communities of Central Jersey, the township of East Brunswick presents resident with the best features that a bedroom community can offer. With a great variety of housing options, continuing growth, an abundance of retail, a wealth of nature, and a nationally acclaimed school district, East Brunswick stands out among Central Jersey’s many suburban towns.

Named for the German city-state of Brunswick-Luneburg, of which the Kings of Great Britain were rulers, East Brunswick’s history dates to the colonial era, and it retains its centuries-old spacious character, with wide open spaces between homes and housing developments. Local Realtor Andrew Zastko, broker-owner of Gloria Zastko Realtors, says of East Brunswick’s housing, “Around Highway 18, there’s so much development going on, especially with apartments and townhome communities. There are also condominiums, single families, and larger estate homes.” East Brunswick has a median home price of $500,000, in line with the state median, and reflecting this community’s increasing desirability.

East Brunswick has a diverse character within its expansive boundaries. Zastko says, “It’s the larger of the surrounding townships, with a mix of different industries, such as shopping, retail, and offices on the highways. 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, the local retail center, is packed with shops and activities; visitors can browse the clothing selections at JCPenney and Macy’s, shop for new reads at Barnes & Noble, or enjoy the finest seafood at the nautically decorated Twisted Crab.

East Brunswick’s vast borders encompass large swathes of undisturbed nature and trees, and this community’s abundance of nature is among its greatest strengths. Zastko says, “It’s a township that borders the rural Farrington Lake community – with its beautiful homes - and the Bicentennial Park.” Bicentennial Park, created in 1976 to honor the 200th anniversary of American independence, is among East Brunswick’s most distinctive features. Bordering the manmade reservoir of Farrington Lake, Bicentennial Park includes 34 acres of preserved nature and opportunities to fish and kayak in the lake, play soccer and tennis at popular sports facilities, or even enjoy beach volleyball in a sandlot.

Another major strength of this township is its nationally acclaimed education system. Zastko says, “East Brunswick’s claim to fame has always been the school system, with exceptional Blue Ribbon school criteria for many years.” Students attend one of nine elementary schools, Churchill Junior High School, and East Brunswick High School; East Brunswick High has consistently received extremely high ratings from the state and national departments of education, as well as from publications such as The Washington Post.

East Brunswick residents also have easy access to the opportunities and thrills of New York City. Zastko says, “People like the close proximity to the major highways and byways, being close to the Turnpike and Parkway. It’s close to local bus terminals and train stations; it’s a commuter hub.” 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.
