Middlesex County single-family homes for sale.
Browse single-family homes for sale in Middlesex County, New Jersey. Detached single-family houses are the backbone of the county's residential market - from mid-century capes and split-levels in Edison, Woodbridge, and Sayreville to spacious colonials in Old Bridge, East Brunswick, Monroe, and South Brunswick , walkable in-town homes in Metuchen and Cranbury , and starter houses in New Brunswick, Perth Amboy, and Carteret . Across all 25 municipalities, buyers find yards, garages, and room to grow at a genuinely wide range of price points.
Most single-family buyers weigh schools, yard space, and commute, and Middlesex County delivers on all three.

Detached homes typically price at or above the county's roughly $535,000 overall median: higher-end towns like Cranbury, Metuchen, and Plainsboro often exceed $700,000, while New Brunswick, Perth Amboy, and Carteret offer single-family homes well under $450,000 - so families can target the right school district and lot size for their budget.
