High Price but High Value 4 rating By Anonymous ( May 14, 2018) If you’re looking for a quiet town to settle down in, look no further. While some may say living in Iselin is boring, I would strongly disagree. What it may lack in night time entertainment such as loud clubs, it more than enough makes up for in it’s beautiful scenery and won ...Read More der places to eat.

My favorite part about living here is the fact that you’re surrounded by more than 10 different parks to go out and explore. Considering I have two dogs, that is definitely a plus! But, don’t worry, you’re not out in the middle of nowhere either. With just a short drive you can also have fun shopping around Menlo Park Mall which even has its own dine in movie theatre!

You technically don’t even need a car to get around here, either. Almost all of the best areas in Iselin are accessible through public transportation. You’re almost always near a bus stop and a short distance from the train station, which might come in handy if you’re paying rent here, but, that comes with the territory of living in NJ. Read Less
