Hunterdon County--Whitehouse Station (Lambertville: renters, houses, income)

[db4xn14h41]

I'm just trying to get a sense of Hunterdon County, specifically Whitehouse Station.

The income for the township is very high, but from looking at street view many of the houses are quite small, as well as surprisingly cheap for Greater New York. Much of the area seems to have a bit of an almost run down, farmhouse kinda feel to it. Heading south of Whitehouse Station there are a lot more mansions, super large backyards, and the like. Is it just a generally diverse area in terms of having a sizable working class in addition to the upper class? Or am I missing something?

Whitehouse Station is not a Township-its an unincorporated area of Readington Township. Readington, by land area, is the largest Township in Hunterdon County, so Whitehouse Station is a rather small slice of it sitting along Route 22. There are parts of Readington that are rather built up and commercial, like the Route 22 corridor, parts that are rather suburban and parts that still quite agrarian and rural. Whitehouse Station probably has a pretty diverse mix of socio-economic backgrounds, renters vs. owners, etc...than other parts of Readington Township. Looping in your other post, quite frankly, no one cares. Rural New Jersey is not the South or the Midwest where people are in your business and asking about your personal relationship with Jesus Christ or whether or not you've "been saved." The same goes for politics in my experience. I don't know my friends and neighbors politics and they don't know mine either. That said, as another poster mentioned in your other thread, the City of Lambertville is probably has more LGBT residents than anywhere in Hunterdon County-in fact the city just elected its first openly gay female mayor recently.
