Raritan Township Hunterdon offers a mix of rural atmosphere and suburban sprawl and is the most populous town in Hunterdon County, according to the 2020 Census. The town is anchored by the business-dense borough of Flemington, which also serves as the county seat. Its prime location halfway between Philadelphia and Manhattan makes it appealing to East Coast commuters, and smaller cities like Trenton and Newark are also roughly an hour from home. “It’s appealing for the good quality schools and the overall good balance of what you get for your money, as far as the size of the house and lot versus what you’d pay if you were buying northeast of here,” says Mark Jacobson, a Raritan-based Realtor with Corcoran Sawyer Smith.

Halfway between Philadelphia and Manhattan
Commuters can take the Phillipsburg-Newark Expressway 66 miles east to Manhattan, while the bustling Interstate 95 leads to Philadelphia after a 51-mile drive south. “Either direction is a decent commute from here, though it’s a submarket of Manhattan more than it is Philly,” says Jacobson. “But people in the county are usually commuting to the northeast corridor of Jersey or to the Princeton area, which is pricier.” A commute to Trenton is about 26 miles, or roughly 40 minutes, while Princeton is 22 miles east. Newark Liberty International Airport is 48 miles east and offers domestic and international flights.
