About Somerset County
Somerset County is renowned for its estates, equestrian properties, and highly ranked school districts. Communities like Bernardsville, Far Hills, and Bedminster sit at the heart of New Jersey's Essex Fox Hounds hunt country, where rolling hills, stone walls, and multi-acre properties define the landscape. Protected farmland and country clubs including Fiddler's Elbow and Somerset Hills help maintain the county's rural character despite its proximity to major employment centers.
Major corporate headquarters — including Johnson & Johnson, Verizon, and Sanofi — anchor the economy along the I-287 and Route 202/206 corridors. This employment base draws highly educated professionals who in turn fuel demand for the county's exceptional school systems and premium housing stock. Bridgewater and Warren offer more suburban-style living with strong infrastructure and shopping at Bridgewater Commons.
Whether you're seeking a horse farm in Bedminster, a colonial on a cul-de-sac in Basking Ridge, or a walkable lifestyle in revitalized Somerville, Somerset County delivers an unmatched combination of prestige, nature, and community. It is consistently recognized as one of the best counties in New Jersey to live, raise a family, and invest in real estate.
