Our Take

Englishtown, NJ is a suburban area with high median home values and household incomes, but it lacks walkability and has a high flood risk. The schools are highly rated, but the area may not be suitable for those who value public transportation or a lively nightlife. Commutes to Midtown Manhattan can be lengthy, at around 78 minutes.
