Studio Apartments for Rent in Plainsboro, NJ

Plainsboro Township, situated between New York City and Philadelphia, offers a mix of rural charm and suburban convenience. Known for its extensive planning, over half of the area is preserved as open space or farmland, providing residents with opportunities to pick their own strawberries or pumpkins.

Smaller properties include one- and two-bedroom condos and two- and three-bedroom townhouses. The neighborhood is safer than the national average, with a crime score lower than the national benchmark. Education is a highlight, with highly rated schools such as John V.B. Wicoff Elementary, Millstone River School, Community Middle School, and West Windsor-Plainsboro South High School, which offers college courses in partnership with Princeton University. The Plainsboro Preserve features nine trails across 630 acres, ideal for hiking and birdwatching, while Plainsboro Community Park and Rowland Park provide playgrounds and sports facilities. For shopping and dining, Plainsboro Plaza and Plainsboro Village Center host essential stores and local eateries like Jhopri and Romeo’s Restaurant.
