About Kendall Park

Kendall Park is an unincorporated community and census-designated place (CDP) located within South Brunswick Township, in Middlesex County, in the U.S. state of New Jersey. As of the 2010 United States Census, the CDP's population was 9,339. Kendall Park has a post office with its own ZIP Code (08824) that encompasses the entire CDP, as well as some surrounding areas.Kendall Park gets its name from its builder, Herbert Kendall, who developed a planned community of 1,500 houses between 1956 and 1961. Kendall's development was built in three stages: the initial development in 1956-7 (between New Road and Sand Hill Road), the Constable development in 1959 (south of New Road), followed by the Greenbrook development (north of Sand Hill Road) in 1961. The initial development offered two styles of 3-bedroom, 1½ bath ranch-style homes, mostly built on 1/3 acre lots, typically selling for around $16,000 in 1957. The subsequent sections offered a wider selection of styles, including 4-bedroom ranches and 4-bedroom colonial-style homes. The development of Kendall Park doubled the population of South Brunswick Township and marked the beginning of its transformation from a rural farming area to a suburban bedroom community. Several other nearby tracts developed after Kendall's original development are also part of the CDP. The Hoagland-Clark House, which dates back to the late 18th century, is a remnant of the earlier era, and was identified by Preservation New Jersey as one of the most vulnerable landmarks in New Jersey. == Geography == According to the United States Census Bureau, the CDP had a total area of 3.704 square miles (9.594 km2), including 3.702 square miles (9.589 km2) of land and 0.002 square miles (0.006 km2) of water (0.06%).U.S. Route 1 passes through the eastern edge of the town.
