Read what Robbinsville residents are saying on the forums:
*Robbinsville is an excellent place to live with many pluses. It's central to everything. About an hour to the city, 45 minutes to Philly, and 15 minutes to Princeton. The schools are excellent and there's no crime to speak of. The area is has a mix of all ages but it's mostly young families which is the case for a lot of towns in the area. The "town center" development is just in its infancy and the plan is to design an are where people can live, shop and eat while walking around instead of having to drive everywhere. In terms of food there are loads of choices from national chains to locally owned establishments.
*There is tons of stuff to do, places to go, restaurants, either in town or nearby in Hamilton, Princeton, etc. A super easy commute across 195 to the shore too, which is great. I loved the Town Center part but there are other nice neighborhoods too if you want more land.
*Robbinsville is a lovely town. It's a "new" town, meaning a lot of building has gone on in the past ten years. It has a brand new high school which is really nice. The schools are very good.
*Shopping is really good, Hamilton Marketplace is just 10 minutes away and has every store you will ever need. And they are just opening more retail a few minutes down the road from that.
* Still really has a rural feel to it but there is plenty to do.
