Highland Park, Middlesex County
What we see in Highland Park
Highland Park is a borough of about 15,000 people on the north bank of the Raritan River, directly across from New Brunswick and bordered by Edison and Piscataway. It broke away from Raritan Township, now Edison, in 1905 and was named for its high ground above the river. Raritan Avenue (Route 27) runs through its downtown, and River Road follows the riverbank. The borough's roughly 6,700 homes sit on lots subdivided over the past century, with Rutgers and New Brunswick close by.
Selling a house in Highland Park: what's different here
Livingston Manor homes
The Livingston Manor Historic District in the north end of the borough was built out between 1906 and 1925 with Craftsman-detailed single-family houses, Tudor Revivals, and stucco bungalows, and was listed on the National Register in 2004. Century-old houses often need electrical, plumbing, and roof work. We buy them as-is, with no repair credits to negotiate.
Near Rutgers
Highland Park has at times served as a bedroom community for Rutgers University and Johnson & Johnson across the river in New Brunswick. Owners who have rented out a house here, or who are selling one with tenants still in it, can find the open market slow. We buy rentals with tenants in place or vacant, and you skip the showings.
Small lots, older systems
Over time Highland Park's land was split into smaller residential lots, leaving a dense, mostly residential borough of under two square miles with about 6,700 homes. If your house has old wiring, a tired furnace, or an unfinished renovation, a financed buyer may ask for repairs. We will make a cash offer without asking you to finish anything.

Questions from Highland Park sellers
Highland Park FAQ
Can I sell my Highland Park rental house with tenants still living there?
Yes. We buy tenant-occupied houses and work with the existing leases, so you do not have to empty the property before closing.
My house is in Livingston Manor and hasn't been updated in decades. Is that a problem?
No. We buy older Highland Park homes in their current condition, including original systems and finishes.
Do all the heirs have to agree before an inherited house can be sold?
In New Jersey, an inherited house is sold through the estate, so the executor or court-appointed administrator signs the sale. We talk with each heir separately and privately, so no one has to negotiate as a group, and we'll walk you through getting an administrator appointed if that hasn't happened yet.
How fast can you close on a Highland Park house?
Thirty days is typical, and clean files can move faster. If you need more time, we'll write the date you want into the contract.
Are you a local company?
Yes. We're a New Jersey company based in Toms River, and we buy in all 21 counties, including Middlesex County. We are BBB accredited with an A+ rating, listed under our affiliate Gembrook Properties.
