Central New Jersey neighborhood with a growing community and a lot of history
Embedded within the interior of Central Jersey’s Monmouth County, the small town of Englishtown is a sleeping giant of New Jersey’s suburban growth. Its small size belies a major growth in population, and its location far from the beach is more than made up for by its proximity to the New Jersey Turnpike and the suburban tranquility that its seclusion offers. With abundant housing options for working residents and a significant selection of popular retirement communities, Englishtown offers much to homebuyers for extremely competitive home prices. Englishtown has a long history, as the town derives its name from the early colonist James English, and George Washington visited this town during the Revolutionary War. One of the town’s oldest buildings, the Village Inn, was built in 1728 and functioned as a tailor shop and tavern before becoming the headquarters of the Battleground Historical Society in 1978 and hosting historical-themed events. Englishtown was a local trading hub along the colonial highway for many years, but the more recent arrival of state highways and the New Jersey Turnpike enabled Englishtown to become a commuter town for both New York City and Philadelphia.
The Village Inn building in Englishtown was built in 1728.

There’s a plethora of different options, and they range between $200,000 and $350,000, with great amenities and accessibility to transportation.”
