Hightstown, Mercer County

What we see in Hightstown

Hightstown is a small borough of about 1.3 square miles that is completely surrounded by East Windsor. Its downtown sits where Route 33 meets County Route 571 (Stockton Street), and Peddie Lake, on Rocky Brook, lies at the center of town next to the Peddie School. The Camden & Amboy Railroad reached Hightstown in 1831, and the borough's older streets include Victorian homes in the Stockton Street Historic District.

Selling a house in Hightstown: what's different here

Stockton Street Victorians

The Stockton Street Historic District, listed on the National Register in 2005, covers parts of Stockton Street and Rogers Avenue and is known for its Victorian homes. Houses of that age often have old wiring, plumbing, and foundations that need work before a financed buyer can close. We buy older Hightstown homes as they stand.

Railroad-era town

Hightstown grew as a stop on the Camden & Amboy, the state's first chartered railroad, beginning in 1831. Freight service ended in 1982 and the tracks were removed in 1983. The borough's downtown sits where Route 33 meets Stockton Street. Homes from those early decades can need structural or system work that retail buyers won't take on. We make offers without asking you to fix anything.

Borough, not township

Hightstown has been a separate borough since it was carved out of East Windsor in 1853, so it has its own tax office and construction office. Sellers near the border sometimes mix up the two. We confirm which town the property is in and handle the paperwork either way.

Inherited a house in Hightstown? The Mercer County Surrogate's Court is in Trenton. We handle the title work and deal directly with the estate's executor or court-appointed administrator, who signs the sale. If no one has been appointed yet, we'll walk you through that step. We talk with each heir separately and privately, so no one has to negotiate as a group.

Questions from Hightstown sellers

Hightstown FAQ

Will you buy a Victorian house near Stockton Street that needs a lot of work?

Yes. We buy older Hightstown homes in any condition for cash, and you don't need to make repairs before closing.

Is my house in Hightstown or East Windsor, and does it matter to you?

Hightstown is a separate borough surrounded by East Windsor. We check the tax records to confirm the municipality, and we buy in both.

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 Hightstown 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 Mercer County. We are BBB accredited with an A+ rating, listed under our affiliate Gembrook Properties.
