Why This Matters for Real Estate

• Lifestyle sells: Being steps from a Saturday show at Dunellen Theatre or a family program in Piscataway gives buyers a “weekend-ready” vision—walkability + easy plans. dunellentheatre.com
  
  
• Seasonal staging wins: Week 46 sits in late-fall; listings pop with warm lighting, layered textures, and porch lanterns. Pair open houses with nearby events to boost foot traffic and “feel the neighborhood.”
  
  
• Two-county advantage: Dunellen links smoothly to Edison, Plainfield, and the Somerset side (Green Brook/Watchung), widening commute options and price points—great narrative for both buyers and sellers.
  
  
• Copy ideas you can lift today:
  
  
  • “Five minutes to downtown coffee and Saturday live music—weekend plans, built in.”
    
    
  • “Quiet street, lively radius: markets, theatre nights, and parks within minutes.”
    
    

Plan Your Weekend (Smart Showing Tips)

• Time showings before event start times for easier parking and calmer streets.
  
  
• Walk the block post-tour: grab cocoa on North Ave and let buyers soak up the vibe.
  
  
• If winds pick up, shoot exteriors early; feature interior glow in your carousel.
  
  
• Out-of-towners? Lead with the NJ Transit Raritan Valley Line convenience + quick hops to Somerset trails and Middlesex retail.
