Understanding Burlington City Property
Historic Core
Large parts of the city contain eighteenth-, nineteenth- and early twentieth-century buildings. Exterior alterations in designated historic areas can involve preservation review.
Riverfront Living
The Delaware Riverfront includes established neighborhoods and newer residential development, including Pearl Pointe near the foot of High Street.
Transit Access
Two River LINE stations provide rail access toward Camden and Trenton, which can be a meaningful location factor for commuters.
Before Buying, Selling or Renovating
Confirm the Municipality
Burlington City and Burlington Township share the Burlington name and ZIP code. Confirm the municipality field before relying on tax, school, zoning or service information.
Historic Preservation
The city maintains a Historic Preservation Commission. Properties in the municipal historic district may face additional design-review requirements for exterior work.
Flood & Riverfront Review
Properties near the Delaware River, Assiscunk Creek and other low-lying areas should be checked for current flood mapping, insurance and drainage conditions.
Older Building Systems
For older homes, inspection priorities may include electrical systems, plumbing, roofing, foundation conditions, lead-based paint, sewer laterals and prior renovations.
