Overview
Government & Commercial in Highland Park — for homeowners in Middlesex County, built by a team that lives here.
Highland Park is a small, culturally rich borough perched on the bluffs above the Raritan River, directly across from New Brunswick and Rutgers University. The borough features a walkable downtown along Raritan Avenue and residential streets lined with early 20th-century homes — colonials, Tudors, and foursquares with mature trees and established gardens. Highland Park has a strong sense of community identity and an active historic preservation ethic.
Highland Park homeowners face the enjoyable challenge of updating homes built in the 1920s and 1930s without losing the character that drew them to the borough. Common projects include kitchen renovations that work within original floor plans, bathroom updates in homes with a single full bath, and basement finishing in homes with solid stone or block foundations. The borough's engaged community means contractors are judged by word-of-mouth reputation.
