Moving to Bedminster, NJ
About Bedminster
Bedminster is a semi-rural township in northern Somerset County, known for rolling farmland, equestrian estates and large-lot single-family homes along the Lamington River valley. Housing is predominantly high-end single-family — historic farmhouses, colonials, and luxury new construction on acreage — with some townhome communities. The township retains a deliberately low-density, countryside character while sitting minutes from I-78/I-287.
