South Bound Brook sits seven miles northwest of New Brunswick along the shores of the Raritan River. This small yet scenic area is home to charming houses and affordable apartments rentals, all close enough together to help you get to know your neighbors. A charming Main Street holds locally owned grocers and restaurants, with even more variety just across the river in Middlesex.
South Bound Brook comes alive in the summer, when mild New Jersey summers bring locals out of their houses and near the water. Enjoy the view and charm of the area at Riverside Park, which winds around the northern border of the town. Interstate 287 is close by, ferrying you to Edison, Woodbridge Township, and eventually New York City.
