High Ridge

High Ridge is a small detached single-family enclave on High Ridge Road in Montgomery Township, Somerset County, with homes built around 2001. These are larger houses, four to five bedrooms and roughly 4,600 to 5,200 square feet, and they sit in the upper tier of Montgomery's residential market, with recent activity in the $1.8M to $2M range. The community is served by the highly regarded Montgomery Township Public Schools and sits in the Skillman and Belle Mead area, a short drive from Princeton.

The homes

The homes on High Ridge Road were built around 2001 at roughly 4,631 to 5,216 square feet, all four to five bedrooms. The 2001 build date places them in the post-1990s construction wave that benefited from updated codes and larger floor plan conventions without the tighter lot configurations of later new construction. Three-car garages, finished basements, and formal layouts are standard at this scale. Recorded activity bears out the range: 66 High Ridge Road, a five-bedroom of 5,216 square feet, sold for $1,800,000 in 2024, while 56 High Ridge Road, a four-bedroom of 4,631 square feet, was listed at $1,995,000.

Streets and setting

High Ridge is organized along High Ridge Road as a small enclave of detached homes in the Skillman and Belle Mead part of Montgomery Township. The setting is lower-density, with open space nearby, and the lots are more generous than those in townhome or later new-construction communities. Turnover is low, so only a handful of homes trade in a typical year.

Schools and amenities

Every home is served by Montgomery Township Public Schools, a highly regarded public system and the main draw for buyers targeting this part of Montgomery. The Skillman and Belle Mead setting keeps day-to-day life quiet and low-density while placing Princeton a short drive away, roughly 15 to 20 minutes.

Market position

With recent activity in the $1.8M to $2M range, High Ridge sits at the top of Montgomery Township's residential market, alongside Rock Brook Estates and Bedens Brook Estates. The distinction among them is largely locational, since they share a similar era and size tier. For buyers in this tier who want Montgomery Township schools but are not drawn to the golf-club lifestyle of Cherry Valley Country Club, High Ridge and Rock Brook Estates are the two most direct alternatives. Because turnover is low, pricing a home accurately against the handful of true comparables is where working with an agent who knows the community pays off.
