Congregation Ohr Torah on Edgemount Road anchors the Edison side, joined by Ateres Shlomo and Congregation Ahavas Yisrael on Route 27.
The Rabbi Pesach Raymon Yeshiva (RPRY), a coed Modern Orthodox day school, sits on the Edison side and serves the whole Raritan Valley community. Day-to-day kosher shopping and the mikvah are a short drive (or walk, within the eruv) into Highland Park, so Edison families rely on the shared infrastructure of the combined community rather than a separate commercial strip of their own.
Note: the Orthodox section of Edison is covered by the same community eruv as Highland Park. Confirm its boundary and weekly status with the local vaad or your rav before carrying on Shabbat.
