Chester Borough, Morris County
What we see in Chester Borough
Chester Borough is a small borough of about 1,700 residents in western Morris County, completely surrounded by Chester Township. U.S. Route 206 and County Route 513 (old Route 24) meet in the borough, and its Main Street holds older buildings such as the Chester House Inn and the Brick Tavern, both on the National Register of Historic Places. The 2010 census counted about 650 homes.
Selling a house in Chester Borough: what's different here
Why the borough split off
Chester Borough separated from Chester Township in 1930, after residents split over the cost of sewer and water service. Today the borough is mostly, though not entirely, served by public sewer and water. Buyers will still ask which a given house has. We buy Chester Borough homes on public lines or on well and septic, as-is.
Main Street landmarks
The Chester House Inn at Main Street and Hillside Road, the Brick Tavern, and the First Congregational Church are listed on the National Register. Older houses near the crossroads often have original framing and systems that inspectors flag. We buy older Chester homes without repair requests or inspection credits.
Small market, few listings
With only around 650 homes, the borough sees few sales in a given year, and a house that needs work can sit while buyers compare it to updated listings in the surrounding township. A cash offer gives you a set price and a closing date you choose.

Questions from Chester Borough sellers
Chester Borough FAQ
My Chester Borough house still has a well or septic system. Can I sell it as-is?
Yes. The borough is mostly on public sewer and water, but not entirely, and we buy homes either way without requiring system upgrades or certifications from you.
Is Chester Borough a different town from Chester Township?
Yes. The borough has been a separate municipality since 1930, with its own tax records. We confirm the correct municipality before making an offer.
Do all the heirs have to agree before an inherited house can be sold?
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.
How fast can you close on a Chester Borough house?
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.
Are you a local company?
Yes. We're a New Jersey company based in Toms River, and we buy in all 21 counties, including Morris County. We are BBB accredited with an A+ rating, listed under our affiliate Gembrook Properties.
