Bernardsville

The crown jewel of the Somerset Hills—mountain vistas, historic estates, and Olcott Square charm.

Highland Sanctuary

Welcome to the Borough
of Bernardsville

Bernardsville is a community defined by its dramatic topography and its history as a sanctuary for the tri-state area’s elite. From the charming shops and cafes surrounding Olcott Square to the significant mountain estates that overlook the valley, Bernardsville offers a lifestyle of quiet, refined luxury.

Real estate here is highly sought after for its historic character and significant acreage. The "Bernardsville Mountain" is home to some of the most architecturally significant residences in the Somerset Hills, while the lower Borough provides charming walkable neighborhoods with direct rail access to Manhattan via the Gladstone line.
