I am a Black person living in Pennington for a little over one year. I did not expect it to be as welcoming as it has been. Upon arrival to this little town, I expected tons of stares, uncomfortable feelings, and worry for my children. To my surprise, though I do occasionally get stared at, it was exactly the opposite. People frequently say speak and say hello. I feel welcome and I'm no longer overly concerned about the safety and welfare of my children. I do wish Main Street was a little bit more built up with businesses but that speaks to today's economic climate while emerging from the pandemic.
Pennington is a great small town located in central jersey. Although there is not much to do right in town, both Philadelphia and New York are close by! There are many local restaurants for a night out and malls and movie theaters within a 15 minute drive!
Living here for most of my life, this town is the best place to live in. It is very close to major cities such as New York and Philly. It also is a good central area in terms of colleges nearby to apply to, has varying seasons, and a very friendly community. Crime rates are very low here, and basically everyone is very friendly and care about each other. Housing prices vary depending on the location to Pennington. In my neighborhood, people are always out and about on a jog or just a nice stroll. The town is pet friendly and is small and comfortable for someone not liking urban areas. Pennington would be described as a suburban town with many local businesses .
