There are many reasons Princeton, NJ is such a fantastic place to live. One of which is that you can live in a beautiful, bustling college town and still easily work and commute to NYC, Philadelphia, and New Brunswick.   As real estate Sales Associates we are often asked what it would be like to commute and the specific logistics.  So in addition to our two videos on both Princeton Junction Train Station and the Dinky, we thought we would provide some more color on exactly how far Princeton is from other cities and airports as well as some useful links.  Enjoy!  Sig & Syl
