Basking Ridge, NJ
(Somerset County)
Basking Ridge is an unincorporated community
located within Bernards Township in the Somerset Hills
region of Somerset County, New Jersey. The community
of Basking Ridge is part of greater Bernards Township, which
also includes the neighborhoods of Liberty Corner, Lyons and
West Millington.
The area was settled during colonial times. It was home to
the old AT&T Headquarters, now owned by Verizon. Basking
Ridge is the current headquarters for Verizon Wireless,
Vencore Labs, World Media Group, LLC, and Barnes & Noble
College Booksellers.
With train service to NYC and a short drive
to all the metropolitan area has to offer, it is a popular area to
purchase a home. From townhomes to luxurious
Colonials to grand country-style estates, it hosts a variety of homes to
suit your needs while offering the peace and greenery of the
suburbs, excellent schools and facilities, a picturesque and
quaint downtown area, and outstanding
golfing and outdoor recreation.
Cultural Events
Downtown area with Presbyterian church in distance. Basking
Ridge has an annual event in May called Charter Day. Many
rides are set up in the Oak Street field—a bounce house,
inflatable race tracks, and spinning rides. Also, in the
center of the town hundreds of stands are set up mostly
promoting school sports, but there are also many kettle corn
stands, which is a traditional food children eat during
Charter Day. At night, the traditional Battle of the Bands
takes place, which many teenagers sign up for to play their
favorite songs.
Parks and Recreation
There are several parks within Basking Ridge. Four are
county parks: Lord Stirling Park, Rebel Hill, Southard, and
Harry Dunham. The fifth is Pleasant Valley Park which
contains the town pool and miles of woodchip trails.
Schools
Bernards Township hosts some of the best schools in the state.
Bernards High School was founded by the Bernards Township
Board of Education in 1924. When Bernardsville separated
from Bernards Township, the schools still remained one
system until 1947 when the original high school became the
property of Bernardsville. From 1948, however, township
students continued attending Bernards High School as tuition
students. William Annin Middle School was originally named
after a colonial patriot who settled in Basking Ridge in
1722. It currently contains grades 6 through 8. There are
four elementary schools in Basking Ridge. Liberty Corner
School, Oak Street School, Cedar Hill School, Mount
Prospect, (the newest school in the district and serves the
Hills).
Public Transportation
Trains: NJ Transit's Gladstone Branch runs through Basking
Ridge. There are two stations that residents can use to get
to New York City and Hoboken Terminal. Basking Ridge: It
serves downtown and north Basking Ridge.

addition to Liberty Corner. Lyons gets more passengers than
Basking Ridge.
Bus: Lakeland Bus Lines (Route 78) provides service to and
