Travel east along the New Jersey Turnpike outside of Trenton and you’ll soon discover the beautiful borough of Hightstown. It became a Mercer County borough in 1853, when parts of East Windsor Township were separated out and named for the Hight family. The borough is still completely surrounded by East Windsor Township.
If you can’t decide between an apartment in Philadelphia and an apartment in New York City, then choose neither – and rent an apartment in Hightstown! Why? Because Hightstown is the halfway point between Manhattan and Philadelphia, about 50 miles from each major city. Hightstown has an action-packed and historic downtown that features terrific shops, restaurants, and a lake. It is also the location of several fairs, festivals, and events.
Be sure to attend the Hometown Harvest, a seasonal fair that includes more than 250 vendors, live music and performances, and a children’s area with inflatables, a petting zoo, and pony rides. The unique Friday Nights at the Lake and Farmers Market is a unique summertime event, with a farmers market and live entertainment every Friday night from June to September.

Apartment Finder utilizes the industry's largest and most complete database of real-time rents and availabilities to help you find an amazing deal on your next rental.
Apartment communities change their rental rates often - sometimes multiple times a day. We track the changes and keep you up to date when a rental rate decreases.
"Best value" units are located in buildings rated three stars or higher. We label apartment rentals that are priced significantly less than similar high-quality units nearby.
Apartment communities regularly advertise deals for new residents. Whether it's a move-in special or a free tv, we locate the rentals that offer a little something extra when you sign your lease.
Note: Based on community-supplied data and independent market research. Subject to change without notice.
