Woodbridge Township holds a singular place in New Jersey history — chartered by King Charles II on June 1, 1669, it is the oldest original township in the state. Today it is home to approximately 103,639 residents (2020 Census), making it one of New Jersey's most populous municipalities and a cornerstone of the Middlesex County real estate market.
What sets Woodbridge apart from comparable communities is its geography: the township sits at the exact intersection of the New Jersey Turnpike and the Garden State Parkway, the state's two busiest highways. This position, combined with three NJ Transit rail stations (Metropark on the Northeast Corridor Line, plus Avenel and Woodbridge on the North Jersey Coast Line), makes it one of the most transit-accessible addresses in Central Jersey.
Woodbridge is not a single town — it is ten distinct communities, each with its own character. Iselin and Colonia are known for their family-friendly neighborhoods and strong school attendance zones. Avenel offers easy rail commuting. Port Reading and Sewaren sit along the water. The commercial heart of the township is anchored by Woodbridge Center, the third-largest shopping mall in New Jersey, and the corporate presence of Wakefern Food Corporation (ShopRite) in Keasbey. The Avenel Performing Arts Center brings cultural programming to the community year-round.
For buyers, Woodbridge's housing stock offers real variety: colonial homes on established streets, ranch-style properties popular with growing families, split-levels, cape cods, and multi-family investments. Whether you are a first-time buyer, a commuter prioritizing transit access, or a family seeking a large school district with multiple high school options, Woodbridge Township consistently delivers.
