Bound Brook, Somerset County
Bound Brook is a borough of about 1.7 square miles on the north bank of the Raritan River, bordered by Bridgewater, South Bound Brook across the river, and Middlesex Borough. Middle Brook and Green Brook form its western and eastern edges. Route 28 runs through the center, U.S. 22 clips the north end, and the Raritan Valley Line stops at Bound Brook station. Homes sit close together, with about 4,400 housing units in under two square miles.
Downtown and the southern part of Bound Brook sit in the Raritan's natural floodplain. Hurricane Floyd in 1999 brought a record crest of about 42 feet, and Main Street also flooded in 1938, 1955, 1973, 1996, and 2010, with Irene in 2011 coming close to Floyd's level. Old flood damage, repairs, and insurance questions can slow a sale. We buy flood-affected homes as they are.
The Army Corps of Engineers carried out the Green Brook Flood Control Project in Bound Brook from 1999 to 2015, designed to protect against a 150-year flood. It removed the flood insurance requirement for most of the borough, though not every property. If you are unsure where your house stands, we can still make a cash offer that doesn't depend on a buyer's lender.
Bound Brook was settled in 1681, became a town within Bridgewater in 1869, and reincorporated as a borough in 1891. A bridge has crossed the Raritan at the Queen's Bridge site since the 1760s. With so many homes packed into a small area, many are older and close together. We buy houses that need work, including those with tenants in place.

Questions from Bound Brook sellers
Since the Green Brook Flood Control Project, most of the borough no longer has a flood insurance requirement, but it depends on the specific property. Either way, we buy for cash, so no lender will require a policy for our purchase.
Yes. We buy single-family and multi-family homes in Bound Brook, occupied or vacant, in as-is condition.
In New Jersey, an inherited house is sold through the estate, so the executor or court-appointed administrator signs the sale. We talk with each heir separately and privately, so no one has to negotiate as a group, and we'll walk you through getting an administrator appointed if that hasn't happened yet.
Thirty days is typical, and clean files can move faster. If you need more time, we'll write the date you want into the contract.
