Mountainside, Union County
What we see in Mountainside
Mountainside is a borough on a ridge in Union County, bordered by Summit, Springfield, Westfield, Berkeley Heights, and Scotch Plains. Part of the Watchung Reservation, including Lake Surprise, is in its open space. U.S. Route 22 and Interstate 78 run through town, though borough zoning limits commercial development along Route 22, unlike many neighboring highway towns. Mountainside was carved from Westfield Township in 1895 and had about 7,000 residents and 2,560 housing units in 2020.
Selling a house in Mountainside: what's different here
Watchung Reservation edge
From 1958 to 1963, Nike missile launchers stood in the Watchung Reservation in Mountainside, and the cleared ground became the Watchung Stables. Houses near the wooded reservation can need tree, drainage, and roof work that inspectors flag. We buy Mountainside homes as-is for cash, so you don't have to take on that work before selling.
Route 22 corridor
Route 22 runs through Mountainside with a peak-hour bus shoulder, and buses 114 and 117 reach the Port Authority. Summit station is about two miles from the center of town. If your house sits near the highway or needs updating, we make a cash offer on it as it is and close on your schedule.
Borough since 1895
Mountainside split from Westfield Township in 1895 and covers about four square miles. Long-owned homes here can come with original kitchens and baths and a houseful of belongings. We buy without repairs, staging, or a clean-out, which helps when you're settling an estate or moving on quickly.

Questions from Mountainside sellers
Mountainside FAQ
Do you buy Mountainside homes that back up to Route 22?
Yes. We buy houses anywhere in Mountainside, including along the highway, and make cash offers on them in their current condition.
I'm settling an estate with a Mountainside house full of belongings. Can you help?
Yes. We buy the house with its contents, so the family can take what it wants and leave the rest.
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 Mountainside 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 Union County. We are BBB accredited with an A+ rating, listed under our affiliate Gembrook Properties.
