    Centered on historic Somerville with parts of Branchburg, 08876 blends small‑town charm and suburban convenience in the Raritan Valley. Expect true four seasons—warm summers, colorful falls, snowy winters, and bright springs—plus a lively downtown anchored by the courthouse green, Victorian streetscapes, and signature events like the Tour of Somerville and summer cruise nights. Over the past few months, Zillow Market Trends show a median rent around $2,600, with most listings ranging roughly from $2,000 to $3,300. The dining scene punches above its weight—Verve, Cafe Picasso, and Village Brewing Company—alongside local cafes and a low‑key nightlife. Daily needs are easy with ShopRite in town, Whole Foods at Chimney Rock Crossing, and Bridgewater Commons minutes away; gyms and studios are dotted throughout. Outdoor time is big here, with the Peters Brook Greenway, nearby Duke Farms, and Duke Island Park offering trails and green spaces. It’s walkable, commuter friendly via the Somerville NJ Transit station and quick highway access, and broadly family‑ and pet‑friendly.
