What I like most about this county is that they provide easy access to things that are necessary. For example, if you need something fixed you can easily find someone to help you out. One thing I do believe needs to be fixed is more community service participation as a lot of students and adults seem to forget their community can get dirty. They need to understand that just because their keeping themselves clean but doesn’t mean their keeping they’re surroundings clean too.
Beautiful place with lots of land, stores and nice people. Great for families. Also great place for young professionals and teenagers. Community college, Princeton University and numerous parks for exercise are all near by.
Its such a nice place, a lot of things are close to each other. Almost everyone who lives here knows exactly what bagel hole means and what is route 1. Cute stores and places in west windsor, plainsboro, and princeton.
