Middlesex, NJ

Middlesex is a borough in Middlesex County, with a residential character and older civic roots. The Harris Lane School, once a one-room schoolhouse, is one of the county's oldest school sites and gives the town a tangible link to early local education. Today Middlesex has its own public school system, neighborhood parks such as Victor Crowell Park and Mountain View Park, and access to central New Jersey roads and job centers. It feels settled, local, and straightforwardly suburban.
