Montgomery Township Real Estate.

Montgomery Township sits in the heart of Somerset County, roughly equidistant between Princeton and Bridgewater, surrounded by preserved farmland and a network of parks and trails. It's the kind of place where you still see horses, where kids bike to friends' houses, and where the community genuinely shows up for each other.

But the real driver is the Montgomery Township School District. Consistently ranked among the top districts in New Jersey, it's the single biggest reason families choose Montgomery — and the single biggest reason property values have appreciated so consistently. Families move here when their kids are young and often stay through high school graduation and beyond.

Schools

The district includes multiple elementary schools feeding into Montgomery Upper Middle School and Montgomery High School. The high school is known for strong AP offerings, competitive sports programs, and a culture of academic achievement. For families considering private schools, Princeton-area options like Hun, Princeton Day School, and Rutgers Prep are all within a short drive.

Neighborhoods & Character

Montgomery isn't a single-style town. You'll find everything from newer developments with community amenities to older colonial homes on multiple acres. Belle Mead (ZIP 08502) and Skillman (ZIP 08558) are both Montgomery addresses with distinct characters — Belle Mead offers more of the classic rural Somerset County feel, while Skillman sits closer to Princeton and Route 206.

Commute

Route 206 provides the north-south spine, with easy access to I-287, Route 1, and NJ Transit bus routes. Princeton Junction's train station (NJ Transit Northeast Corridor) is roughly 20 minutes south, making NYC commuting feasible. Many residents also work in the Route 202/206 pharmaceutical and corporate corridor.

Investment Potential

Montgomery has been one of the strongest appreciation stories in New Jersey. The combination of top schools, limited new inventory, and consistent family demand creates a market where well-priced homes sell quickly and values hold even in downturns. For investors, rental demand is driven by families who want the school district but aren't ready to buy — a reliable, premium-rent tenant base.

Why We Know Montgomery

We know which streets flood after heavy rain, which developments have HOA issues, which elementary schools are most sought-after, and which lots have the best long-term value.
