Before You Buy
Highlands Planning
Union Township is fully conforming with the Highlands Regional Master Plan. Environmental resources and Highlands rules can affect land-use and development options.
Well & Septic
Many properties outside more developed areas use private wells and septic systems. Inspections, permits and maintenance history deserve careful review.
Streams, Wetlands & Slopes
Spruce Run tributaries, wetlands and terrain can affect flood risk, setbacks and future improvements on individual parcels.
Transportation
I-78 provides excellent east-west highway access, but much of the township remains car-dependent. Mean commute time was about 38 minutes in the 2020–2024 Census data.
School District
PK–8 students attend Union Township schools, while grades 9–12 attend North Hunterdon High School.
Municipal Verification
Use Hunterdon County tax maps and township records to confirm the actual municipality when a listing carries a Clinton, Hampton, Asbury or Pittstown mailing address.
Preserved Land & Community Character
Large portions of Union Township are permanently preserved or publicly managed, including state, county and municipal open space. That preservation supports the township's rural and recreational character while concentrating development in more suitable areas.
