Hillsborough Apartments and Rentals

Conveniently located near the cross section of many major interstates and tucked between New York City and Trenton, Hillsborough is blossoming into one of the most sought-after communities in New Jersey. A collection of small villages from the start, this township has been providing residents who live in Hillsborough apartments for rent a high quality of life and low crime rates for many years. According to information from City-Data, Hillsborough is an expansive community, encompassing nearly 55 miles, so finding a place to live here shouldn't be a problem. A young and growing city, the average age for men and women here is below 40, making Hillsborough an attractive place to live for future years.

Hillsborough and the surrounding areas were first explored by Dutch settlers as early as the mid-17th century, according to the city's website. After large tracts of land were set out, a small community was formed around what now is called South Branch River Road. Eventually, the areas around Hillsborough were sold to William Penn, who was responsible for expanding many areas in the mid-Atlantic. Today, the city continues to expand and grow because of its closeness to many major urban areas and excellent community spirit. According to information from City-Data, the population in Hillsborough is more than 36,000, and that number is expected to grow as more people find out about this charming township. 

Hillsborough has made it a point in their community to live as environmentally friendly as possible, and their Sustainable Hillsborough campaign reflects that. Much of their work in the community revolves around making the township more pedestrian and bike friendly, conserving energy, recycling, focusing and putting an emphasis on redevelopment so that all Hillsborough citizens can have a better quality of life.
