Princeton NJ Real Estate Trends

 

Real estate in Princeton NJ is centered around the picturesque town which is home to Princeton University. With an international population, Princeton is a cultural hub of the Central  New Jersey area.  A plethora of restaurants, museums, arts centers and shops are all within walking distance of downtown  Princeton.  There are many different neighborhoods comprised of single family homes, duplexes, townhomes and condos.  You can choose from more densely packed walk to town areas for your home purchase, or perhaps decide on the surrounding neighborhoods like Littlebrook and Riverside with more privacy and green space.  Families choose Princeton for the highly rated Princeton School District as well as the many private school options. Extra lifestyle bonuses are the Dinky train to NYC for commuters, as well as the D&R Canal towpath for jogging and biking.
