Raritan Borough, Somerset County
Raritan is a borough of about 2 square miles on the Raritan River, bordered by Somerville, Bridgewater, and Hillsborough. U.S. Route 202 runs through it, Route 206 follows the Somerville line, and the eastern half of the Somerville Circle sits in Raritan. Raritan station is usually the most frequent western end of the Raritan Valley Line. The borough counted about 7,800 residents in 2020, its highest census total, and about 3,200 housing units.
The Raritan Woolen Mills opened in 1846 and later became the Somerset Manufacturing Company, which made uniforms and blankets for the Union and U.S. Armies. If your Raritan house is older and needs updates to its wiring, plumbing, or heating before a buyer's lender will sign off, we buy it as-is, so you skip the repairs.
Raritan station, with a building from the early 1890s, is usually the most frequent terminus of NJ Transit's Raritan Valley Line to Newark, with limited service continuing west to High Bridge. Rail access helps demand, but a retail sale still means inspections, appraisals, and buyer financing. We pay cash and set a closing date that works for you.
Raritan was created in 1868 as a subdivision of Bridgewater Township and became a fully independent borough only in 1948, after lawsuits with Bridgewater. John Basilone, the Medal of Honor recipient, was born here, and Basilone Park and Frelinghuysen Park are borough parks. We buy houses throughout Raritan, from estate properties to homes with tenants.

Questions from Raritan Borough sellers
No. Raritan Borough is in Somerset County next to Somerville, while Raritan Township is a separate municipality in Hunterdon County. We buy houses in both.

In New Jersey, an inherited house is sold through the estate, so the executor or court-appointed administrator signs the sale. We talk with each heir separately and privately, so no one has to negotiate as a group, and we'll walk you through getting an administrator appointed if that hasn't happened yet.
Thirty days is typical, and clean files can move faster. If you need more time, we'll write the date you want into the contract.
