Diverse history tucked between Hamilton Township and the Delaware River
Franklin Park is tucked below the sprawling suburb of Hamilton Township, edging near the Delaware River and South Trenton. Developers at the turn of the 20th century thought Franklin Park could become a suburb too, boosted by the momentum of industrial businesses, but newcomers were responsible for building their homes – and so the neighborhood flew below the radar for some time. As a result, the land continued to undergo development even after World War II, bringing a mix of midcentury styles to stand alongside the Victorian-era rowhouses. History lives on through street names like Howell, Brown and Vroom, which pay homage to the area's prominent politicians and pastors. A pair of early 20th-century churches bestow a touch of the past, too: The turquoise turrets of St. Vladimir Orthodox overlook Dunn Middle School, while St. Bartholomew Lutheran, which was founded in 1914, continues to hold events like community barbecues and theological workshops.
Franklin Park was originally known as "Six Mile Run", named after the Millstone tributary.
Franklin Park is a short distance from downtown Trenton, NJ.

Cape Cods, colorful rowhouses and semi-detached homes in Franklin Park
Despite its mix of midcentury and Victorian styles, Franklin Park has always been steadfast about keeping trees around, and contemporary residents say the neighborhood’s leafiness is a prime perk. People often compare the neighborhood to nearby Hamilton Township, touting it as less costly. “Franklin Park is a perfect spot for first-time homebuyers to establish themselves in the housing market,” says Stefanie Prettyman, a Realtor with Keller Williams Premier. “The school system isn’t as desirable as surrounding markets, but that makes it easier for young people to afford a new home.” Late 19th-century and early 20th-century rowhouses and semi-detached homes stand along main thoroughfares like Clinton Avenue and Genesee Street, presenting colorful facades next to shaded sidewalks. Prices range from $165,000 to $280,000. Detached single-family homes in the form of Cape Cods and other modest styles are priced between $300,000 and $430,000.
