Piscataway is basically suburban mostly flat topography. To me its one of those towns like South Plainfield where it may seem like it could take a month to drive to another part of town vbecause the roads go around in circles, but I'm exaggerating. Edison is next to it and has probably the largest Indian population in NJ. It is basically a safe community being it is not next to any older urban areas.

I'd have to disagree on the driving around opinion. I have lived in Piscataway practically all my life and must say P-way roads move quite nicely. VERY accessible to many major highways/routes like 287, 22, 1, 28, 27, njtkp, gsp, etc. Piscataway is a very large town as well; spanning 5 exits along 287. It was also voted I think #23 on top 100 towns to live in America last year in Money magazine or US News....that one I couldn't figure out though since since the survey was based on the country!
