Rumson is one of New Jersey’s wealthiest towns, which is no surprise once you drive around the colossal mansions and their private gardens. Out of the 7,000 people inhabiting this rich township, some of the more famous ones include Jon Bon Jovi, Queen Latifah, Heather Locklear, Charlie Puth, and the one-and-only, Bruce Springsteen.
Of course, the prices of each house are proportional to their size, so you’re going to need a few million dollars to even put a down payment on a house. For a house with 7 bedrooms and 10 bathrooms, you’d have to pay around $11 million, so we gather that a regular apartment might be quite pricey also.
