Gateway at Royce Brook

Gateway at Royce Brook is Premier Development's upscale gated 55+ active adult community in Hillsborough Township, Somerset County, New Jersey. At full build-out the community will consist of 296 luxury single-family homes, with construction that began in 2014 now in its final phase and limited inventory remaining as of late 2025. The community sits in a secluded enclave setting with many homesites backing to woods and cul-de-sac locations, giving the neighborhood an elegant, tranquil feel that contrasts with its convenient Central Jersey location. Homes range from 2,374 to 2,975 square feet and feature three bedrooms, three or three-and-a-half baths, and attached two-car garages. Optional basements are available on pre-determined lots, including daylight basement sites that back to wooded areas. Two primary floor plans — the Saratoga and the Wellington — are currently offered in the final phase, each designed with first-floor primary suites so owners can live on one level while reserving the upstairs loft, third bedroom, and full bath for visiting adult children and guests. Standard interior appointments include 9-foot ceilings, dramatic two-story family rooms, luxury vinyl plank flooring in main living areas, 42-inch cabinets, quartz or granite counters, GE stainless steel appliance packages, and walk-in attic storage on the second floor. Homes are Energy Star certified. Social life revolves around a full-service clubhouse and recreation center that opened in 2017. Indoor amenities include a state-of-the-art fitness center, aerobics and dance studio (yoga), ballroom, library, and billiards room. Outdoor recreation includes a heated outdoor pool, tennis and pickleball court, bocce courts, and shuffleboard. Organized clubs and interest groups on site include billiards, bocce, exercise, shuffleboard, swimming, tennis, and yoga. The HOA is $366 per month and covers lawn care, snow removal, trash collection, common grounds, and full clubhouse access — a true maintenance-free lifestyle behind a secured gate. The Hillsborough Township location is a major draw. The community sits less than a mile from Route 206 and is minutes from the Hillsborough Promenade (Lowe's, HomeGoods, Weis Markets) and a full range of restaurants and services. Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital is under three miles away. Princeton is a short drive south, Somerville is just north, and Bridgewater Commons offers larger-scale shopping nearby. Routes 206, 202, and I-287 give residents easy access to the wider region — Newark Liberty International Airport is roughly 35 miles, and both Jersey City and Manhattan are about an hour away, with Philadelphia reachable in roughly the same time. Golfers have several courses within minutes, including Royce Brook Golf Club, Spooky Brook Golf Course, Bunker Hill Golf Course, and Neshanic Valley. Hillsborough itself has been named one of Money Magazine's Best Places to Live and is home to Duke Farms and extensive township parks.
