Thanks.

I would also be wary of Chestnut Willow Apts and Kensington Arms.

I hear the elementary schools are ok but the High School (Hightstown High) gets mixed reviews. This might be because it is so close to some highly ranked schools like Princeton, WW-P, Montgomery and South Brunswick.
Good Luck!

The wendover commons development of East windsor is very nice.They have fairly younger homes and it's a lovely neighborhood. I feel very safe and have nothing but great things to say about the area.(neighbor is a successful lawyer and a scientist lives across the street from us.) There are many professionals in this neighborhood. I truly believe the school district is just going to get better and better due to all the newer developments sprouting around and young families moving in. I've noticed the negative comments too on this site and I think you just have to go by your own experiences.

I'll be honest. The rental areas of East Windsor are very shady outside of Windsor Commons.

HOWEVER.

There are a lot of nice, quiet neighborhoods with no problems at all.

My personal opinion is, if you're not renting in EW, and you're not in Twin Rivers, you're fine.

If you're looking to move, look at how well the landscaping is kept up, and look at the cars. If the cars and the landscaping are well taken care of (and not too "blingy") you're fine.

I thought the taxes in East Windsor were very high when I was looking a little while back. And considering the school district didn't rank very highly I thought that was an instant deal killer.
