      Princeton Junction is a beautiful area as it has a significant amount of greenery and farms. Its public schools are ranked very highly with respect to other schools in New Jersey. It is a very safe area, and although it is quite expensive tax wise - it is a great return on investment.

      Princeton Junction isn't a very interesting place to live, however, they do have a variety of stores around the area, such as Quaker Bridge Mall and Marketfair, but other than that there isn't really much to do in the area. Mostly people who live in Princeton Junction drive to Princeton to hang out with friends. The environment is very clean and the community is overall very nice and quiet.
      I love living in Princeton Junction. The school district is great and the overall safety of the town is great.
