Your welcome. All you have to do is zoom out to find other towns or type the name in. You can even map a route with it by putting in different addresses and adding stops.

The township has many programs for kids of all ages all year round. Great place for kids, and your not to far out like some of the other townships named. Think of the location, central and equadistant to Princeton, Bridgewater commons mall, Somerville (county seat), New Brunswick and Flemington (outlets etc...). You can catch the train in Somerville on the weekends as well, whereas Clinton and Readington don't have weekend service. Bridgewater and Basking Ridge are probably the most conveniently located suburbs in our area but you pay for it as well.

The 206 bypass will probably take about 2 years to complete.

Can someone expound on the "horrible traffic" in Hillsborough? We will be moving there in May. DH will be commuting from Hillsborough to Skillman. Is this a terrible commute? Or is he going against traffic?

oh dear no. that's a commute made in heaven, seriously. *maybe* 15 minutes? he's going against traffic.

i don't drive 206 in that area during rush hour, my "horrible" comment stems from the fact that, because of all the strip malls lining each side of 206 in that area, there's always a lot of traffic, even on weekends and at night. it's more "annoying" than anything. plus, at some point it goes from 2 lanes down to one and you can get stuck in that (again, it's not terrible).

bottom line, we're not talking 'nyc' traffic or gridlock. just too many cars for what the road was designed to handle. (i mean, i know that's the cause of all traffic, but you'll see what i mean when you move here.)

Welcome to NJ!

Ditto...

It's no sweat, a hop, skip and a jump from Hillsborough to Skillman. Like Tahiti said, the traffick is more of a nuisance but it is definitely not terrible.


Good Luck....

Hi, I'm italian and I live in small town near ROMA... the name of this town is Lenola!!
Excact Lenola!! Im very happy when I've found that exists another town with the same name in the other side of world!!!

My Lenola is differet then your but very nice. Is a medieval town situated on hill at 15 km from the sea, is quiet (have 5000 inhabitants) and have a lot of green places.

Lenola is ideal for to spend an holiday in Italy, infact she's in the centre of Italy at only 100 km by train from Roma

I'm curious if there's someone interested to have a little talk about our ''LENOLA''...
to swap some information about our different life in this two LENOLA...
and know some friend

i wait some answer...thank you all... -Salvo-

I don't believe those two towns are in the same league. One is in South Jersey and the other is in the wealthiest County in Central NJ. Sort of like choosing weather to buy a Chevy or a BMW

Are you sure you didn't mean Morristown?

I agree that south Jersey is not in the same league as central Jersey and yes many people mix the two 'M-towns' up,but believe it or not Moorestown in south Jersey is one of the few 'semi-affluent' towns there;
