Somerset
7.0
High score (8-10)
Somerset County's pharmaceutical corridor — Bridgewater, Bedminster, Bernards Township — runs some serious professional money, and if you're operating in that sphere the county is very workable. The South Asian professional community here is substantial, tied to the pharma and biotech companies that line Route 202 and Route 206. Bernardsville and Far Hills have a horse-country wealthy scene that's more accessible than Hunterdon's equivalent. Bridgewater Commons is a strong retail anchor. Strong profile in the right professional context plays well here.
Mid score (6-8) · Your profile
Somerset County runs a strong professional corridor — Bridgewater is dense with pharmaceutical company offices, and the executive-class residential towns like Bernardsville, Basking Ridge, and Far Hills carry real money. The South Asian professional community is substantial here, tied to the pharma and tech corridors extending into Middlesex County. The county's social life runs through golf clubs, corporate dinners, and house parties rather than public venues. Works well if you're in the professional track; the county doesn't have much of a public social scene otherwise.
Lower score (below 6)
Somerset County is wealthy NJ suburbia at its most professionally siloed — the social life runs entirely through corporate networks, country clubs, and established family connections that require significant prior access to enter. The pharmaceutical company culture is insular in a specific way that's hard to break into from outside. Without a professional entry point through one of the major employers, the county has very limited public social infrastructure. Expensive and closed.
