Looking for that small-town feeling while living in the shadow of the big city? Then Metuchen is the place for you. A haven for commuters because of its train station, as well as its close proximity to most major New Jersey highways, Metuchen offers one of the more desirable communities in Central New Jersey.

The NJ Transit Train Station is a major factor in Metuchen’s popularity with New York’s Penn Station less than an hour ride away. In addition, Metuchen is in close proximity to the New Jersey Turnpike, Garden State Parkway, Interstate 287, Route 1, and Route 27.

The small-town spirit is embodied in Metuchen’s central downtown area with its mixture of restaurants and shops. With an area of just 2.7 square miles, the downtown is within walking distance from all parts of Metuchen.
