Nitha,

If you are moving from New Jersey from Iselin or Edison area, you would consider Hillsborough county as not thickly populated by Indian community. However, when compared to Florida standards, Indian community In Hillsborough is high and energetic. The Indian population is large enough to have separate association for each language like Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, Gujarati and so on. There are many Indian grocery stores in Hillsborough and also many Indian restaurants. There are many IB league schools in Hillsborough and Pinellas counties. There are plenty of parks and most importantly, it has most beautiful beaches.

There are so many Indian cultural programs every month, nice Temples and Orlando Theme Parks are just an hour's drive from Hillsborough.

Nitha, Are you looking for info on Hillsborough, NJ? I think the above post is abt Hillsborough, Fl. Hillsborough, NJ is a very nice place, and I dont think it has high indian population as Edison. The closest town for shopping is Bridgewater - you get almost everything there. Piscataway or Edison too are not too far.

I am from Hillsborough,NJ! There is one store closeby but I dont like going there because he doesnt keep fresh vegetables.Even if I think I can go to farmers market,he doesnt have many other things necessary.So I stopped going there. There is one on Eastern Avenue and this is about 25 min drive. Other than Indian groceries, I think I love Hillsborough. There is an Indian restaurant, Indian salon,YMCA is closeby,the schools are good and there is so much greenery! We do have a decent Indian circle here.

Indu; and Rose;
Thanks a lot for the inputs..

Rose; yesterday I went to see a couple of houses near the middle school.. Even I felt the same; it is very calm and green. But my DH is not sure if he can live there amidst all that green He loves to be in "middle of action". But I loved bridgewater very much; not as quite as hillsborough; but still calm enough
Thanks again

Bridgewater is a nice place too. Eventually, you would want your children to be in the midst of calmer places.Good luck with your search.Let me know your choice when you make one
