Real Estate, Housing & Historic Neighborhoods

Trenton's housing market is fundamentally different from the surrounding suburbs. Rowhouses, twins, small apartment buildings, detached historic homes, multifamily properties and new affordable/mixed-income development can exist within a few blocks of one another.

Mill Hill

Restored brick rowhouses and Victorian-era properties in a compact historic district near Downtown and Trenton Transit Center.

Berkeley Square / Cadwalader Area

Larger historic detached homes and distinctive early suburban architecture near Cadwalader Park.

Chambersburg

Dense rowhouse, twin and multifamily housing mixed with neighborhood commercial streets and industrial legacy sites.

North Trenton

Older housing stock and active large-scale affordable/mixed-income redevelopment around the Battle Monument district.

West Ward / River Areas

Neighborhoods such as The Island and Glen Afton require particular attention to Delaware River and tributary flood risk.

Rental Housing

Trenton is majority renter-occupied, so landlord registration, inspections, rent stabilization and legal occupancy can be especially important.
