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.

The architecture of Bordentown's colonial revivals, townhouses, duplexes and single-family residences can range between $219,000 to $738,000. Roughly $470,000 will get a potential buyer a 3-bedroom, 2-bath 1,700 square feet attached colonial revival with a front porch. That translates into $277 per square foot. Lot sizes for homes tend to range around 8,700 square feet, while home sizes are around 2,000 square feet. While some homes date as far back as the late 1750, the majority of residences were constructed between the early and mid-1900s.
