      East Amwell was a great place to grow up in. The school was a wonderful and enriching experience. Only downside is that the high school that serves the area is HCRHS and going from a small school to a very large school was extremely overwhelming. The country roads and scenery are what make the town so special. It's a great place to raise a family since there is not much activity in the town other than kid centered activities (sporting leagues, scouts, etc).

      I would recommend living here to anyone, especially those who would like to raise a family. If I could do this all over agin, I would still choose to live here. In the future, I would hope to see continued preservation of farmland and wide open spaces. The greenery is one of the best features about this place.
      No one hears much about crime in this area. There aren't many disturbances at all. Although the town does not have its own police station, the towns nearby are very quick to help.
