Monroe, New Jersey Relocation Guide

Monroe Township is located in Middlesex County. Early history refers to this as one of the "pine townships" because of the abundance of pine timber in the area.

Monroe Township is a community steeped in history and renowned for its sense of family and community. Centrally located and within a short driving distance to Philadelphia, Atlantic City and New York City, Monroe Township is also a fantastic place to set up business.

Housing in Monroe Township is a homebuyer's dream. Whether it's an authentic colonial home, ranch, split-level, or a modern luxury home with cathedral ceilings and a gabled roof, it's available in the township. In addition to the variety of single-family homes, there are attractive apartment and condominium clusters. House prices vary widely mostly because the township encompasses so many areas. For example one can buy a single wide trailer for $20,000 all the way to $89,000. A single family home starts at $250,000 but can range all the way to one million or more. A comfortable family home, one with three or four bedrooms, a two car garage, and all the amenities will average out at $450,000. Homes come in all styles, from older, quaint farmhouses to the new colonials with basements.

For the outdoor enthusiast there is plenty to do in the tri-county region as there are 28 golf courses and 19 parks. Garden State Discovery Museum and the "Flea" Market at Garden State Park offer a children?s wonderland and unique shopping; and it's a convenient drive to Six Flags Great Adventure for big theme park enjoyment. An hour away is the "Shore" with beaches all along the Atlantic Ocean and the glittering casinos in Atlantic City where you can play 24 hours a day.

Variety is the key word when it comes to wildlife related recreation activities available for families in the Monroe area. Just a stone?s throw away you can choose to go camping, hiking, and biking. If fishing is more your ?thing?, drop a line in the ocean, or choose from one of the several magnificent rivers that run right past Monroe Township.

Monroe Township is ideally located, far enough away that you can escape the hustle and bustle of a large city and be surrounded by the peace and quiet of the country. Monroe is a growing, thriving community of professional people who would love nothing more than to welcome you to their town.
