One of the most highly regarded communities in the state is upscale yet quaint Basking Ridge, a historic district of Bernards Township in northern Somerset County.
There are many good reasons why people want to live here.
The city has much to offer, such as a good school system, many recreational opportunities as well as an abundance of cultural events and a warm sense of community among the residents.
The location also is ideal.
