Tewksbury NJ Real Estate

Located in the northeastern portion of scenic Hunterdon County, Tewksbury Township is generally regarded as the gateway to Hunterdon County being the first town in the county accessible by traveling west bound on Interstate 78.  Tewksbury occupies 31 square miles with a population of approximately 5,500 residents.  Tewksbury is conveniently located near a network of major commuter roadways including Interstates 78 & 287, Routes 22, 31, 202 and 206 providing easy access to most employment hubs like Newark, Princeton and New York, just to name a few.  Access to NYC is just minutes away with a NJ Transit train station in nearby Far Hills, along with service to Port Authority in midtown Manhattan provided by Lakeland Bus.  For those commuters living in the more interior sections of town NJ Transit offers connecting train service from nearby Whitehouse Station or Raritan to New York, Newark or Hoboken.  NJ Transit buses depart from Whitehouse Station to Port Authority in mid-town Manhattan with several stops including Newark and Newark Liberty International Airport, which is less than 30 miles away.  Points south including the Jersey Shore are within an hours drive and to the west, Pennsylvania is less than a half hour away.

With it’s close proximity to several of New Jersey’s largest business campuses including some of the world’s leading pharmaceutical / biotech and communications companies conveniently located in neighboring towns, it is no wonder that Tewksbury has become the destination of choice for many of today’s homebuyers looking for the ideal balance and perfect blend of suburban living without the isolation that sometimes accompanies this lifestyle.

The township consists primarily of four small villages, Oldwick, Mountainville, Pottersville and Cokesbury, each with historic districts included in the National Register.  Long known for being an agricultural community since before its founding in 1755, Tewksbury has retained many of its agricultural traits, even while residential development has been established in many areas, large portions remain as they were 250 years ago.  Tewksbury remains committed to its heritage through aggressive land conservation efforts with approximately 3,500 acres being preserved to date.  The township is also a favorite among the equestrian set with numerous horse farms of all sizes dotting the landscape including 100 miles of horseback riding trails maintained by the Tewksbury Trail Association.  On weekends, bicyclists are drawn to the area for its scenic roadways and a pit stop at the Oldwick General Store, one of the first and oldest commercial buildings in town dating back to 1750.

Notable places in town include the Tewksbury Inn, Oldwick General Store, Zion Evangelical Lutheran Church, The Magic Shop, Melick’s Farm Market along with the many historical sites located in the outlying villages.  In addition, the township has excellent parks and recreation facilities with something for everyone.  Cultural and community activities include the annual Pottersville Antique Show, Tewksbury Harvest Festival, Tewksbury Art Show, and the Barn Dance & Auction to name a few.

Tewksbury truly has the best of both worlds for those seeking a country setting with all of the amenities and conveniences of modern suburbia.  It is within 30 minutes of two major shopping malls, The Bridgewater Commons and the upscale Short Hills Mall, as well as a choice of supermarkets, restaurants, spas/gyms, public and private golf courses, movies, hospitals and more.  All of the amenities and features mentioned above, from location, commuting, education, employment, recreation, cultural, community and overall quality of life metrics are just several examples of what makes Tewksbury Township such a great place to live and the overwhelming choice for buyers looking for the best of what northern New Jersey has to offer.
