Bordentown is all about charm
A charming city with a busy downtown and charm, Bordentown, New Jersey, sits at the mouth of Crosswicks Creek and the New Jersey River. The Downtown district is one square mile of storefronts, including boutiques, eateries and a record store. “It’s fabulous [here]. Everyone hangs out on their front porch and says hello,” says Bridget Harvey, a Realtor with Coldwell Banker Schiavone & Associates. She has sold homes in the area for 20 years and is a lifelong Bordentown resident. “They call us the little city with a lot of charm.” Appearance sake, it is easy to mistake the neighborhood for a quaint New England town.
Along Crosswicks Creek there are a few boat docks in Bordentown.
