Located in the eastern part of the sprawling township, Clara Barton is more urban in its density and has a small central business district on Amboy Avenue.[5] The "village-like" section of it is separated from the township's bustling highways and stretches of retail and is home to one of the township's three public libraries.[6] The Middlesex Greenway runs along the neighborhood's southern boundary.[1][7]
