Highland Park is a borough of about 15,000 people on 1.83 square miles along the northern banks of the Raritan River, overlooking New Brunswick. It was named for its park-like setting on the high land above the river and broke away from Raritan Township (now Edison) in 1905. Census estimates put the median home at 1962.
Old houses, many renters
Highland Park’s housing is old: 73 percent of homes were built before 1980 and 27 percent in 1939 or earlier. It is also mostly rented, with 40 percent of homes owner-occupied and 32 percent single-family detached. For a rented home, the property owner decides on tree work; tenants should report concerns in writing.
The Livingston Manor Historic District, a subdivision begun in 1906, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2004. If you live there, ask the borough whether any review applies before major work. For street trees, ask the borough who is responsible before anyone prunes or removes them.
