Somerville Homes for Sale

Somerville is a borough located in Somerset County, New Jersey. The borough is named after Somerset in England. It became a town in 1863, then a borough in 1909. Somerville was originally settled by the Dutch who had purchased the land. They established their church near what would become Somerville. The community had its roots in farming, but rapidly grew after the railroad was completed in the 1840s and water power was developed in the 1850s.

Today, Somerville has become a destination for boutique retail and dining. Despite this modern development, Somerville has maintained its history. Several of the abandoned factories were replaced with modern offices or remodeled as apartments. Check out Somerville's market statistics HERE!
