A connected and engaged community in central New Jersey
South River, New Jersey’s small-town vibe comes from its big-hearted residents who give back to their community, whether that’s planting seeds at the community garden or supporting a church bake sale. “It’s obvious that you’re surrounded by people that want to help, want to care, want to reach out,” says Peter Guindi, the borough's mayor and a lifelong resident. South River has dozens of local culinary spots, from Portuguese bakeries to Polish markets, and green spaces line the waterfront. Live music is also popular here, with regular free concerts to draw neighbors together.
Novice and seasoned farmers will find the Community Garden very desirable in South River, NJ.

Established single-family homes populate South River
South River’s history is reflected in its homes, many of which were built between 1910 and 1960. “You don’t have as many new homes, with the exception of one or two new sections in town,” says Andrew Zastko, broker and owner of Gloria Zastko Realtors. “They’re going to traditionally be some older colonials, split-level homes, some ranch-style bungalow homes. There’s not many condos or townhomes because the town was built out.” Homes typically sell for around $450,000. A fixer-upper can go for $175,000, while a newly constructed colonial-style home can cost upwards of $800,000.

Planning for flooding
Parts of the borough located closest to the river have been historically susceptible to flooding. Depending on ground elevation, flood water can fill streets and low-lying areas with six inches to two feet of water during normal rain events with increased flooding during major storms. The South River government regulates construction in floodplains. Guindi says officials are working with homeowners to raise houses to withstand flooding, as well as working alongside FEMA for long-term planning.
