Branchburg is a small rural and suburban town where everyone knows each other. However, as a person of color, it is not very diverse with an in the ballpark estimate of about 75-85% caucasian. Growing up it was tough because I was different, but I now observe people of all races are moving in and there is much less racism in the town. I think the public schools are great and the education system is up to par. However, we do not have our own high school and share with Somerville. It is extremely expensive to live in Branchburg, such as paying taxes, and purchasing real estate. There are not too many store complexes in Branchburg, so there is usually a 10 minute commute from wherever you are going to Bridgewater, where there are plenty of stores. Nothing is really in walking distance for the neighborhoods are quite large. However, I have to say that our town is extremely safe with little to no crimes and a police station right on the main road.
I love my community! Branchburg has everything that I need and its location in New Jersey provides easy access to everything. We are approximately an hour from the mountains, beach, city, and farm lands.
This quiet, small town is a wonderful atmosphere for children to grow up in. Parents are involved in their children's sports and other activities, and the community holds events like the annual Country Fair and Branchburg 5K. The schools offer a great education, and, because students from Branchburg share a high school with students in Somerville, the next town over, they are introduced to a new environment and are given more options for places to meet with friends and explore their surroundings. Every teacher in the district cares for their students' education, and will work to help each individual student succeed. This small, suburban community is an entirely safe and excellent location for families.
