Your Hillsborough Apartments Living Guide

There's no question that residents of Hillsborough apartments have plenty to do here, in the spring, summer, fall or winter. An expansive parks and recreation department with programs for all ages and sports, the nearby Duke Farms that offers enrichment programs and nature tours and plenty of history here to explore makes it ideal.

Young and older residents of Hillsborough apartments can appreciate the antiquities of this city. Established by Royal Charter in 1771, it was one of the original 104 townships created by the

state of New Jersey in 1798. The original documents from as early as 1748 are stored in the Rutgers University library. In addition, spear points carved around 10,000 years ago have been found, with many archeological artifacts found indicating continuous occupation of the area. No wonder Hillsborough is listed on Money Magazines top 100 places to live in the US!

Ann Van Middlesworth Park is perhaps the best kept secret in the state of New Jersey as part of the city's parks and recreation department. Residents of Hillsborough apartments can find tons of ball fields including basketball, baseball and softball and soccer and a gorgeous walking trail, a fishing pond with pier and a sensory garden. The Dockery Park Hockey Rink provides sporting entertainment year round with ice hockey in winter and floor hockey with roller skates in the summer. Tennis leagues are available and typically play at the Amsterdam School courts.

When you're eating away from your Hillsborough apartments, check out the city's "Dine Hillsborough First" site that describes the various restaurants available including American, Oriental, Italian, Mexican, and even designates such categories as fast food, deli's, pizza and smoothies and ice cream, at http://www.hillsboroughbusiness.org/Cit-e-Access/webpage.cfm?TID=79&TPID=10833. There's a wide array of restaurants to choose from, from national chains to the local mom and pop shop.

The Hillsborough Township School District teaches around 3,000 elementary students at six different schools, with around 1200 students at the intermediate school for 5th and 6th graders, 1200 students at the Middle School grades 7th-8th, and about 2400 students at Hillsborough High School.

It's a good thing that school's not year round. With all the history and recreation activities surrounding you in your Hillsborough apartments, it's a great place to live and play.
