3/10Living in Somerville
North Branch, Branchburg Park, Milltown and North Branch Depot sit in a largely green, gently rolling part of central New Jersey, with the North Branch of the Raritan River shaping the landscape. The area has four-season weather, from leafy summers to cold winters, and a quieter, spread-out feel than nearby Somerville. North Branch Depot’s historic rail setting reflects the region’s past, while parks, trails and river corridors offer room to walk, bike and spend time outdoors. Local dining and coffee options are scattered, with a broader mix of shops, restaurants and cultural events in Somerville a short drive away. Everyday errands are generally easiest by car; NJ Transit service at North Branch station and nearby Somerville station adds rail options. The rental market for ZIP code 08876 has a median rent of $2,500 per month and a typical range of $1,300 to $6,300.
