Warren County

Rural beauty and rolling hills in a historic New Jersey county

Welcome To Warren County

Once a lucrative site for copper, Warren County cultivated its artistic side in the 1880s, when it became the largest producer of musical organs in the nation. Today, this exclusive area is known for sweeping estates and gorgeous rural beauty spanning mountain ranges and rolling hills. Tidy brick colonials sit peacefully on leafy residential streets, beautifully restored farmhouses feature idyllic river property, and grand hilltop estates pamper homeowners with sleek outdoor kitchens, heated pools, and stunning mountain views.

 

Warren County’s fresh air and scenic backdrop come from its nearly 43,000 acres of manicured parks, lush forests, and wild conservation lands, including Jenny Jump State Forest, Stephens State Park, and Allamuchy Mountain State Park. But those who crave city lights needn’t worry – the bright lights and bustle of the city is merely a short drive away. At just over an hour to downtown Manhattan, Warren County offers easy access to the vibrancy of New York City – and warmly welcomes residents home again to the quietude of country life.
