Not to mention, locals can be downtown for the Patriots Week events in around 10 minutes. Hiltonia homeowners are surrounded by history, such as the Trenton City Museum and Trenton Psychiatric Hospital. “It’s a quiet area with a close community of neighbors. They get together each week, and you don’t see that very often in the Trenton area,” says Marina Echavarria, an experienced Realtor with Coldwell Banker Realty. Linda Reid, a Realtor with Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Fox & Roach, has lived in the area for over 45 years and says, "Hiltonia is a neighborhood, not a subdivision. It's one of the best-kept secrets in Trenton. The area is diverse and inclusive, and we have a civic association that is a strictly social group."

State-operated departments nearby
The Trenton Psychiatric Hospital sits in the middle of the neighborhood. This facility has 450 beds and has been standing since the 1840s. Metal fences surround the campus, creating a safety barrier for those who check into the hospital. "The psychiatric hospital isn't very operational anymore. Half of the buildings are empty, so they create a buffer between the homes and the rest of the hospital," Reid says. The Trenton Department of Corrections Offices also sit nearby, behind the Joyce Kilmer Intermediate School.
