Life in the Somerset Hills

Welcome to Basking Ridge

A storied village in the New Jersey hills, with blue-ribbon schools, centuries of history, and an easy commute to everywhere that matters.

The Community

A town that feels like home

Tucked into the Somerset Hills, Basking Ridge pairs small-town warmth with serious convenience. The historic village center, anchored by the Brick Academy and a 600-year-old white oak, gives way to tree-lined neighborhoods, top-ranked Bernards Township schools, and hundreds of acres of parks and trails at Lord Stirling and the Great Swamp.

It's the kind of place where you know your neighbors, walk to coffee on Saturday morning, and still make it into Manhattan for a meeting. That blend of charm and access is exactly why families put down roots here, and why I've never wanted to sell real estate anywhere else.

Getting Around

Easy to get just about anywhere

Basking Ridge and its neighbors, including Bernardsville, Bedminster, and Far Hills, are served by train, bus, and the area's major highways. The city is close, the airport is closer, and the mountains and shore are an easy day trip.
