Rocky Hill suburban living north of Princeton
The quaint suburban borough of Rocky Hill sits just a few miles north of Princeton for work or leisure. Buyers can find various established 20th-century homes on modest lots around town.

"Folks are drawn to the Montgomery Township School system," says Jan-Michael McClintic, a real estate agent with Real Broker, LLC. "It's also got a small downtown with a couple of local restaurants." In addition to a handful of locally loved restaurants along Washington Street, there are several shopping centers in neighboring Montgomery to the northeast to browse. Parents can also send their children to highly ranked schools in the Montgomery Township School District.
