Warren County, NJ
Phillipsburg sits at the meeting of the Delaware and Lehigh rivers, directly across from Easton, Pennsylvania. Three bridges connect the two: the Easton–Phillipsburg Toll Bridge (U.S. 22), the Northampton Street "Free Bridge," and the I-78 Toll Bridge. Once a hub where five railroads converged and the western end of the Morris Canal, Phillipsburg runs its own PreK–12 school district. Phillipsburg is in the Highlands region.
Phillipsburg buyers include first-time buyers, Lehigh Valley commuters and investors. For multi-family, organized rents and expenses support your price.

Yes. The NJ Highlands Council lists Phillipsburg among the Warren County municipalities in the Highlands region. Rules differ between Preservation and Planning Areas, so check the specific parcel before planning additions, outbuildings or subdivision.
Phillipsburg School District (PreK–12).
No. Phillipsburg doesn't have an NJ Transit rail station, so most residents drive. The main roads are U.S. Route 22, Route 122; three Delaware River bridges to Easton, PA.
Rates change every year and vary by municipality. Check the NJ Division of Taxation's general and effective tax rates, and always look at the actual tax bill for the home you're considering.
Online estimates struggle in North Jersey because lot size, water and sewer type, lake access and condition vary so much. A comparative market analysis using hand-picked recent sales is far more reliable — I'll prepare one for free.
