Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Not many towns can claim the illustrious Meryl Streep as one of their own! Before making it big Streep was a waitress at Hotel Somerset, proving that even multiple Oscar-winning actresses have true blue Jersey hometown roots.

Located within Franklin Township with a population just past the 22,000 mark, Somerset is a densely urban area. The climate tends to be hot and humid during the summer months and the winter is usually mild and cool. However, this is not a hard and fast rule as Mother Nature is so fond of showing us! Somerset has a profusion of museums, county gardens, excellent farm-to-table restaurants and world renowned beaches all tucked into one small but thriving area of the Garden State.

Preparing for Your Move

Moving to Somerset is thrilling, but it can also be a little overwhelming if you are searching on your own. If you can, enlist the help of a local friend or find a local real estate agent to help search for properties. Most homes and apartments here do not put signs out in the front yard, so peruse the local newspaper listings or seek out professional assistance. Begin your search well in advance of your move-out date (think 6-8 weeks). Also, having all of your references -- both credit and professional -- ready to share with the realtor and potential landlord can make the wheels turn faster. Lastly, be sure to set money aside (cashier checks are preferred usually) for all deposits and fees associated with your move.

Getting Around Somerset

Most residents use the SCOOT Bus, the DASH (Davidson Avenue Shuttle) or the CAT (Community Access Transit) to commute to work or out for a night on the town. Persistent car buffs who can track down a permanent parking spot enjoy getting about town as well as road trips into the country!
