Home Additions in Raritan

Raritan Borough is a small, tight-knit community along the south bank of the Raritan River, bordered by Somerville and Bridgewater. The borough's residential streets feature well-maintained Cape Cods, ranches, and colonials from the post-war era, many on compact lots with established gardens. Raritan has a quiet, neighborhood-oriented feel that attracts families and long-term residents who take pride in their homes.

Raritan's compact lots and post-war construction mean renovation projects often focus on maximizing space within existing footprints — kitchen expansions into underused dining rooms, bathroom additions carved from closets, and basement finishing to add livable square footage. The borough's proximity to the river also requires attention to drainage and grading during any exterior or foundation work.
