I grew up in this town and still love it! I live in North Jersey as of right now but I really miss how beautiful Princeton is! They have excellent private schools, excellent education programs for children and by far one of the best colleges and college town I have observed. Everyone there is friendly (IMO), they also have a farmers grocery/ market that I love(Whole Earth), I travel about 45 min every week to go there because they are awesome and good produce is kinda hard to find in North Jersey... I hope to move back with my family if I can!
Princeton is such a nice place to live. It's somewhat near Trenton, but has a completely different atmosphere. There's lots of parks, trails, and places to run. Downtown Princeton is a great place to shop, walk around, and eat. The campus is also beautiful and such a good place for a day trip. There is a free art museum on campus as well! Parking is a bit of a nightmare when it's busy on weekends, but that is expected. School district is amazing, it's very safe, and there's lots of job openings. Great place to live!
