Piscataway Township is located in northern Middlesex County along the Raritan River, directly across from New Brunswick and Highland Park. Rutgers University’s Busch and Livingston campuses occupy major areas of the township and contribute to its educational and research character. Interstate 287, Route 18, and several county roads connect Piscataway with the Route 1 corridor, the New Jersey Turnpike, and employment centers across central New Jersey. The township includes established residential neighborhoods, apartment communities, business parks, industrial properties, schools, parks, and historic areas. Johnson Park follows the river near the New Brunswick border, while other recreational facilities are distributed throughout the municipality. Piscataway’s development reflects its location between major university, transportation, and commercial corridors, with large campuses and employment properties situated alongside long-established local neighborhoods.
