Hillsborough
Hillsborough was named as one of the best places to live in America for 2019, according to a new set of rankings released by Niche. Hillsborough was ranked as the 69th best place to live in New Jersey. The township is also home to the Belle Mead General Depot which was a storage site for materials during World War II. Hillsborough is home to Duke Gardens and Duke Farms, a 2,700 acres estate in the north-eastern quadrant of the town that was originally owned by tobacco and electric energy tycoon James Duke and then passed down to daughter Doris Duke, and is now one of the few remaining “preserved” natural areas in Hillsborough Township.
Money Magazine has rated Hillsborough as one of the best places in the nation to live in its August, 2007 edition, ranking the Township 23rd in the Top 100. Hillsborough Township coined the phrase, "Hillsborough, The Good Life" about 30 years ago and the Money Magazine announcement demonstrates the true way of living in our town.
