Where is a good place to live around Lawrenceville?

I am 29, M and enjoy being single. I like to hang out with kids my age and go to the bars/ night life. I currently live in Morristown, NJ and its perfect however its too far from Lawrenceville. Money is not a problem however i want to live close to work and live in a town like morristown/asbury park.

you might be better off looking over in Bucks County PA to be honest, someplace like Yardley or Langhorne. If Princeton proper isn't to your liking than there's not much in the immediate vicinity.

Another idea might be the somewhat partying towns of New Hope, PA / Lambertville, NJ that's about a 25 to 30 min drive as quoted, or up that way somewhere,,,

If willing to do a little commute, New Brunswick is 40-45 minutes (without traffic) and 45- 1 hour (with traffic) but would fit your need for bars/restaurants. Commute would be straight down route 1 which can be brutal at times depending on time of day.

I can't think of anywhere around there that would be worth having a longer commute for

I would just live close to your job and do things on the weekend from there.

Agree. Find a nice place in Hamilton Township (very large RR station parking lot) or nearby and take the train to Philly or NYC.

Lambertville is a good choice, crossing the bridge from New Hope to NJ would add some annoying minutes to the commute and Lambertville is just as fun as New Hope. RTE 29 is 2 lane, windy (pretty) and heavily travelled in the AM and PM.

Rider U is in Lawrenceville and TCNJ is in nearby Ewing not sure if you are into the college night life.
