Somerville, NJ Apartments for Rent

Nestled in Somerset County, Somerville, NJ combines deep historical roots with contemporary living in its compact 2.3 square miles. This county seat hosts the Tour of Somerville, America's longest-running bicycle race, and preserves significant Revolutionary War history at the Wallace House State Historic Site, where General George Washington headquartered during the winter of 1778-79. With average rent prices around $2,080 for a one-bedroom apartment, Somerville presents an appealing option for those considering the region, while offering the convenience of a well-established community.

The borough's downtown district features tree-lined streets with preserved Victorian architecture, local shops, and restaurants along Main Street. Transportation options include service via NJ Transit's Raritan Valley Line at the Somerville Station, with connections to Newark and New York City. The borough sits at the intersection of several major roadways, including U.S. Routes 22, 202, 206, and Route 28, providing access to Interstates 287 and 78. The centrally located downtown area puts residents within walking distance of dining options, retail shops, and Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital Somerset.
