Green Brook keeps residents connected to major hubs, provides highly rated schools and offers quick access to shops and outdoor attractions. The town’s compact size makes it a close-knit community, one that hosts a diverse selection of events throughout the year. “We have a great sense of community, and a small-town feel with access to everything you need,” says Roseann O'Keefe, broker associate for NextHome Premier, who’s been selling homes in the area for nearly 20 years. Commuters can easily get to New York City via three major thoroughfares, NJ Transit bus stops and a train station just outside of town.

Traditional-style homes starting in the $400,000s
Homebuyers can find colonials and Cape Cods from the early 1900s, ranch-style homes and split-levels from later in the century and a handful of contemporary homes built in the past 25 years. “You have some new construction here and there, but no new developments,” says O’Keefe. Homes south of Route 22 are packed tighter together, while houses north of the highway have slightly larger lot sizes. Homes typically sell for $400,000 to $900,000, but the town’s largest houses range from $1 million to $1.5 million. At The Woods, a community of two- to four-bedroom condos, units range from $400,000 to $700,000.
