Any Metuchen (New Jersey) real estate agent will tell you that it's harder to sell your home in the winter.  The days are colder and shorter, leaving less time to show your home to potential buyers.  The good news is that most of the buyers who are looking at houses in the winter aren't just killing time.  They're serious enough about finding their new home to go house hunting at a time that most people would rather stay inside. There are a few things you can do to make a good impression on home buyers this winter: · Make sure all walkways are safe.  Spread out ice melt or sand to provide traction during snowy weather.  Shoveling the snow on the driveway and sidewalks will make your Metuchen property appear more inviting and well maintained.  Be sure to place a mat for visitors to wipe ...

The Metuchen Cultural Arts Commission is proud to present The Shakespeare Theatre of New Jersey's Next Stage Ensemble, performance of Richard II, by William Shakespeare on Saturday, AUGUST  9th at Tommy's Pond, on Lake Avenue in Metuchen at 5:00pm. ( In the event of rain, we will move to the Metuchen Senior Center, 12 Center Street). For more then 16 years audiences across the state  have enjoyed high quality abridged productions of classic plays. Richard II is a poignant and poetic play about English history and contains some of Shakespeare's most impassioned descriptions of his homeland but it is also the deeply relevant tale of one of man's inner struggles between his essential humanity and the absolute power of his office.
