The Garden State is packed with small towns, and one of our favorites is also one of the most walkable towns in New Jersey. Have you visited Red Bank, NJ lately?
Red Bank is a tiny river town located in the busy and crowded Monmouth County area, so not many realize just how small this community is. Only 12,000 people call Red Bank home, but thousands more visit to walk these beautiful streets.

Most Walkable Towns In New Jersey September 24, 2022 Meghan Byers What are some other walkable small towns in New Jersey? If you’re looking for a charming small town with one of the most photographed landmarks in the Garden State, you’ll definitely want to visit Clinton, New Jersey. Its iconic red mill shows up in photos and paintings hanging on walls around the state, and it has some delightful shops to visit along its very walkable main street. In Hunterdon County, Frenchtown is a charming waterfront town, located right on the Delaware River, with a lovely main street to explore. For another can’t-miss Delaware River town, check out Lambertville, one of our favorite small town getaways in New Jersey. And of course Cape May can’t be missed, with its beautiful Victorian architecture, idyllic beaches, and history on every street corner. What are the most walkable cities in New Jersey? Hoboken, NJ has in recent years ranked as one of the most walkable cities in both NJ and the entire United States, with a walk score of 97 and the designation of “walker’s paradise” on Walkscore.com. This vibrant little city of just over 50,000 residents is also home to lots of fun dining establishments, like a mac and cheese bar serving over two dozen varieties of mac and cheese. For finer dining in Hoboken (although what could be finer than mac and cheese?) be sure to visit the Elysian Café, where you can dine outside under the shade of a tree. What are some underrated small towns in New Jersey? Some of New Jersey’s most underrated small towns are its more rural towns. Picturesque Andover Township is home to some great antiquing, along with beautiful Kittatinny Valley State Park, which has trails that anyone can enjoy no matter their level of hiking experience. While you’re in the area, visit nearby Windy Brow Farms in Fredon Township for some homemade ice cream in all sorts of fun flavors, apple picking, and a farm store where you can buy delicious baked goods. Meanwhile, near Princeton, take a stroll through Hopewell Township, which features Victorian architecture, local eateries, and over 100 acres of parks. Try this road trip through New Jersey’s best small towns to explore even more of the Garden State.
