Glen Gardner, NJ

Tucked into the rolling hills of northern Hunterdon County, Glen Gardner is a quiet borough home to just under 2,000 people. Situated along the winding waters of Spruce Run, the community has a peaceful feel with historic houses and plenty of surrounding greenery. It gives residents a classic rural New Jersey setting while keeping them right next door to neighboring towns like Hampton and Clinton.

Families share a school district with Clinton, sending pre-K through eighth-grade students to Clinton Public School before they move on to Voorhees High School. Route 31 runs directly through town, giving commuters a quick, easy link to Interstate 78. For weekend outings and errands, the trails and water at Spruce Run Recreation Area are practically in your backyard, and the restaurants and shops in downtown Clinton are only a short drive away.
