Rent to own Homes in South River, NJ

Formerly part of the township of East Brunswick, South River underwent several name changes before it officially became a borough in 1898 and part of Middlesex County.

The South River forms its eastern boundary, while Old Bridge Turnpike marks the western.

South River, NJ is a great place for affordable rent-to-own homes! With a median household income of over $77,382 and a median rent of $1,316, the South River, NJ rent-to-own market is more affordable than the traditional housing market which has shown tremendous growth across the U.S. and with it, aggressive competition for home purchases. With the current housing shortage trend it can make it harder to become a homeowner, including in South River, NJ. This means higher than average down payments for homes and higher qualification standards for conventional home loans. With a rent-to-own property, tenants are also buyers. You can live in the house for a set amount of time before you purchase it, meaning that you get to know the house, your neighbors, and your community before making the final purchase. This enables you and your family to make the right choice based on both information and experience. Rent-to-own is also a great alternative way to get into a home if you have bad credit or don't have enough saved for a down payment.

Home affordability! In late 2014, the borough had a median list price of $249,000, which was down 4% from the year before. With a median house size of nearly 2,700 square feet, there's value in a home here. Near the downtown area, along Washington Road, you can find deals on rent to own homes.

Parks and green space! There are hiking and biking trails through forested Edward A. Grekowski Park, on the banks of South River, that provide a nice respite from the clamor of the city.

Leonardine Park is a smaller neighborhood green space in the southern part of the borough and is next to the South River Public Library.

Fabulous food choices! For a delectable sampling of the cuisine of Portugal, try the Portuguese Fisherman on Jackson Street. Krakowiak Restaurant on Main St. offers authentic Polish food that will make you think you are in Krakow with the tasty pirogi and golabki. River Thai Cuisine, also on Main Street, brings the flavors of Thailand to town. Ria Mar, on Whitehead Avenue, is another eatery featuring Portuguese favorites. For a beer or two and to catch the game, head to 33's Tavern on Devoe St.
