Taking the train, bus or highway to New York
“About 80% of people here commute to New York,” Primus says. “You have your choice of buses or trains. Ten Mile Run would use Princeton Junction vs New Brunswick. You’ll have a quicker commute with Princeton Junction.” U.S. Route 1 is the major road commuters take to drive 8 miles to Princeton or 50 miles north to Manhattan, New York. A trip to Princeton takes less than 20 minutes, while Manhattan is more than an hour’s drive. Anyone planning to fly regionally or internationally drives about 31 miles to Newark Liberty International Airport. The nearest hospital is Princeton Hospital.
Plenty of shopping and dining along Route 1
Ten Mile Run is a short drive from the big box stores and shops bordering Route 1. “If you need groceries, you have Costco, BJ’s and Target,” Primus says. “A couple plazas down, you’ll have a huge ShopRite and another Target." Primus also highlights the MarketFair Mall and Quaker Bridge Mall farther down Route 1. Residents who want farm-fresh produce can drive down Bunker Hill Road to visit the Griggstown Farm Market.
“Besides the shopping aspect, what’s really unique is the diversity,” Primus says. “There are all kinds of restaurants, from Greek and Mediterranean to French and American bistro fare. There are bring-your-own-bottle spots in the Downtown Princeton area, minutes away. You don’t have to spend a lot on wine because you bring your own, and the food is fresh. The owners speak with customers, and it’s always a welcoming feel.” Closer to Ten Mile Run, there's Confectionately Yours, a destination for sandwiches and sweet treats. Bereket Gyro & Grill is a popular locally owned spot on Route 1 that serves Turkish dishes, and the attached specialized market sells Turkish and Middle Eastern products.
