Very Investor friendly
Hightstown has no STR‑specific ordinances, permits, caps, or registration fees, allowing STRs where zoning, building, fire, and tax rules are met; the state transient occupancy tax and safety codes apply but do not impose city‑level burdens. The lack of municipal restrictions and supportive tone for underlying residential use keeps investor compliance straightforward and cost‑controlled.

Nestled within the Raritan Valley region, Hightstown is an historic, commercial, and cultural hub of Central New Jersey, along with being a diverse outer-ring commuter suburb of New York City in the New York Metropolitan Area. As of the 2020 United States census, the borough's population was 5,900, its highest decennial count ever and an increase of 406 (+7.4%) from the 5,494 recorded at the 2010 census, which in turn reflected an increase of 278 (+5.3%) from the 5,216 counted in the 2000 census.Hightstown was incorporated as a borough by an act of the New Jersey Legislature on March 5, 1853, within portions of East Windsor Township. The borough became fully independent around 1894. Additional portions of East Windsor Township were annexed in 1913, 1915, and 1927. The traditional explanation is that the borough was named for John and Mary Hight, who established a tavern in the area in the 1750s.
