I am Bogdan Nicolae Rus, a licensed New Jersey REALTOR® with eXp Realty (license #2186044). My day-to-day focus is Hudson County, and I also help buyers, sellers and renters in Middlesex County.
My search pulls from the Hudson County MLS and Garden State MLS, so it may not show every home on the market in Middlesex County. If you spot a home somewhere else, send me the address and I will look into it.

How do you get from Middlesex County to New York City?
NJ Transit gives Middlesex County frequent commuter rail service on three lines, each running north toward Newark and New York.
- Northeast Corridor Line
- North Jersey Coast Line, through the eastern part of the county
- Raritan Valley Line
I check the walk or drive to the nearest station for each home, because it changes a lot from town to town.

Taxes and zoning are set town by town, so I check them for the specific home, not the county as a whole.
