Bernardsville, NJ

Bernardsville is a Somerset County borough in northern New Jersey, set in the hills near Basking Ridge and the Somerset Hills area. It has Revolutionary War history nearby, a traditional borough center, and older estates and homes that give parts of town a leafy, established feel. The Olcott Avenue Historic District adds a clear historic layer, while local students attend the Somerset Hills School District. Bernardsville feels quieter and more residential than many New Jersey suburbs, with commuter access but a distinctly small-borough scale.
