Centered on the Raritan River, 08869 (Raritan, NJ) blends a historic small-town core with suburban calm and easy commuting. You’ll find walkable streets around Somerset Street, the John Basilone memorial and parade, the 19th‑century Nevius Street Bridge, and quick access to greenways and Duke Island Park for biking, jogging, and dog‑friendly strolls. The vibe is friendly and rooted—longtime families mix with young professionals—while four distinct seasons bring leafy springs, warm summers, colorful falls, and crisp winters.

Everyday needs are close by—ShopRite of Somerville, Wegmans in Bridgewater, Planet Fitness and the local YMCA, plus Bridgewater Commons for bigger shopping runs. Transit is a strong suit: NJ Transit’s Raritan Station (Raritan Valley Line) and quick links to I‑287, US‑22, and 202/206 make regional commutes easy.
