Historic New Yorkshire on the Delaware River
While New Yorkshire embraces the future of Burlington, the neighborhood’s red brick-lined sidewalks and century-old homes pay homage to its influential past. “The Burlington area is a Revolutionary area where the community started,” says Giulio Leone, Realtor with HomeSmart. “We won our independence here when George Washington crossed the Delaware.” Centrally located in Burlington City, which was originally established by Quaker settlers in 1677 after they bought the land from Lenape Native Americans, New Yorkshire offers residents a historic presence that extends from the Revolutionary War to the Civil War. The Delaware River flows a few blocks north of the neighborhood, where in 1776, Washington’s army crossed into the established city of Burlington to get to Philadelphia. In addition to being the longest-operating pharmacy in the state, Burlington Pharmacy, an otherwise unassuming storefront built in 1731 and owned by Quakers, served as a stop on the Underground Railroad.
The city of Burlington attracts those who appreciate the region’s history, but who are also looking forward to continued growth. The gridded streets of New Yorkshire, especially the well-known High Street, are lined with refurbished restaurants and unique shops. The Riverfront Promenade to the north helps to bridge the gap between the area’s celebrated past and its developing future through farmers markets and street fairs that remind residents of their integral role in the community. New Yorkshire is also commuter-friendly, with a light rail station within walking distance and nearby highways that put residents 20 miles from Philadelphia and about 75 miles from New York City. Some may also recognize the name Burlington as the name of the national discount coat manufacturer, which was founded in the city in 1924.

Dinner and drinks along High Street
The High Street Historic District, located on the west side of New Yorkshire, illuminates Burlington’s days of old through preserved homes like the Penn’s Brew House, Grant House and the Armed Forces Heritage Museum. In contrast to these historic landmarks, High Street also sheds light on the city’s growth through trendy cafes and other contemporary establishments. At the northernmost end of Burlington, High Street meets the Burlington Riverfront Promenade. Greeted by a statue of an anchor, parkgoers can stroll the greens and overlook the Delaware River. The promenade serves as part of the meeting grounds for Burlington City Boardwalk, a recurring event that happens five times throughout the year featuring food vendors, a beer garden and live music.
Situated near the anchor, Evermore Coffee Roasters is a moody cafe inspired by Edgar Allan Poe. Further south along High Street, The Union is a popular spot for brunch, happy hour and dinner. Continuing down High Street, Taste of Soul serves American soul food and offers catering and event space. A block from there, B-Unos has a unique menu of breakfast, burgers and street tacos, and next door, Third State Brewing has a rotating menu of craft beers brewed in-house. Across the street, Francesco Pizzeria is the go-to for pizza and pasta dishes. There are also a few local shops along High Street, including Antiques Market on High, where shoppers can find an assortment of vintage items.
On the opposite end of the neighborhood, U.S. Route 30 runs east to west from New York City to Delaware. As the highway runs through New Yorkshire, it features a few locally favored eateries. Amy’s Omelette House is a casual breakfast diner inside a teal reconstructed train car. The south side of the community is also home to more commercial establishments like car shops, gas stations, fast food spots and convenience stores. For grocery hauls, there is an ACME Markets and a ShopRite located about 3 miles away.

The oldest Episcopal church in New Jersey
On the west side of New Yorkshire, Broad Street is home to the oldest Episcopal church in the state. Standing out from the surrounding colonial-style and Victorian-era homes, St. Mary’s Church has dark-stone Gothic Revival architecture and a towering spire. This comparatively newer building, constructed in 1864, stands next to the original church, built in 1702. Between the two establishments are the final resting spots of various Revolutionary War heroes. St. Mary’s gained a place on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972, and it became a National Historic Landmark in 1986.

Colonial-inspired and Victorian-era townhomes
Sidewalks line the residential areas of New Yorkshire, and some areas are laid with the original red brick of the 1800s, speaking to the city’s early stages. Buyers can find investment opportunities in townhomes that are in need of makeovers, with single units priced between $95,000 and $160,000 and entire complexes priced between $310,000 and $995,000. Townhomes that are move-in ready are typically brick Victorian or colonial-inspired structures, but there are also more contemporary styles with vinyl facades. Most properties were originally built between 1870 and 1900, but there are some built more recently in the late 1980s. Some homes offer driveways around back alleys, while others offer street parking. Sizes range from 1,000 to 2,000 square feet, and prices are generally between $180,000 and $300,000. Due to New Yorkshire’s proximity to the Delaware River, most homes face a high flood risk.

Pocket outdoor spaces and gatherings at Mitchell Park
Residents are within walking distance from a few pocket parks throughout the neighborhood. On the north side, Barclay Tot Lot has a small playground built in 2001. A couple of blocks from there, Clarkson Playground is a strip of grass with play areas and a swing set. Located on the south side along Mitchell Avenue, Mitchell Park offers open green space and full-court basketball courts. This park area sometimes hosts Kids Days, a community event that includes inflatable bounce houses, music from a DJ, a petting zoo, toddler-friendly play zones and free food.
Just west of New Yorkshire is Kennedy Park, also referred to as Greenlanders Park. On the east end of this area is the Mehlville Playground, athletic courts and John F Kennedy Lake. On the west end is the Burlington Dog Park, complete with two fenced-in areas for small and large breeds. Walking trails and footbridges connect the two park areas.

Commuting to Philadelphia from the Burlington Towne Centre light rail
Burlington Towne Centre is a light rail train station at the corner of High Street and Broad Street, offering NJ Transit service north to Trenton and south to Camden. “A lot of people then take the PATCO that goes right into City Hall in Philadelphia,” says John Wuertz, Broker Associate with Berkshire Hathaway HomeStyles. “And the NJ Transit Express train goes all the way to New York City,” delivering passengers to the city in about an hour. The NJ Transit bus also services the community, with a few stops along Broad Street.
U.S. Route 130 runs along New Yorkshire’s south side, leading to Virtua Willingboro Hospital, about 3 miles away. The highway also continues on for another 25 miles to Philadelphia International Airport. New Jersey State Route 413 can be accessed on the west side of the neighborhood, bringing commuters across the Delaware River and into Pennsylvania. This highway connects with Interstate 295, and Trenton-Mercer Airport is about a 20-mile ride north on the interstate. “If I can fly out of Trenton, I will,” says Stacey Stier, Realtor with Realty One Group. “The only airlines there are Frontier and Spirit. And there’s only one terminal, so you’re at the mercy of other flights.”
Get to and from Trenton from New Yorkshire at Burlington Towne Center Station.
