About Highland Park
Highland Park is a compact, genuinely walkable Orthodox community in central New Jersey, just across the Raritan River from New Brunswick and Rutgers. Congregation Ohav Emeth on Raritan Avenue is the largest shul, joined by Ahavas Achim, Agudath Israel, the Sephardic Congregation Etz Ahaim, and Khal Chassidim — a denomination mix that keeps most families within a short walk of a minhag-appropriate minyan.
Raritan Avenue is the spine: Glatt 27 is the kosher supermarket, deli and takeout counter, and Grill House brings a sit-down glatt kosher restaurant to the strip. The Lefkovits Family Park Mikvah is on South 1st Avenue, and families draw on the day schools of the wider Raritan Valley community, including RPRY next door in Edison. Housing is mostly older single-family and row homes, and the whole town is famously affordable relative to the Bergen County and Lakewood markets — a big part of why the community keeps growing.
Note: The Highland Park and Edison Eruv (hperuv.org) covers Highland Park and the adjacent Orthodox section of Edison, and connects to the New Brunswick eruv so you can carry between them. A recorded hotline at 732-487-ERUV (3788) gives the latest status, with weekly email alerts (a blank email to hperuv+subscribe@groups.io) and posts at @hperuv.
