Lambertville’s nationally recognized charm and regular river town life
Lambertville was built up by the railroad and canal that parallel the Delaware River in centuries past, but its modern reputation came about when publications like Forbes and USA Today began ranking it among the country’s most beautiful small towns. Though it’s technically a city, Lambertville has taken on the small-town identity with pride, growing its business community and tourism industry in tandem with New Hope, the Pennsylvania borough on the river’s opposite bank. “Several things drew my husband and I to Lambertville, but walkability was certainly huge. You can walk along the canal, across the river, from one end of Union Street to another or go right outside of town to beautiful hiking trails,” says Andrew Nowick, Lambertville’s mayor. “The scale of the city is a highlight. There’s around 4,000 people here, always out and about, saying hello – it’s cliche, but it really is a bit like Mayberry. There's a neighborliness, an intimacy, that’s deeply appealing.” Lambertville is more than its travel listicle highlights; it’s a place where residents are weighing tri-state commutability and rising real estate values with the flood risk that plagues the entire Delaware River Watershed. But, for locals as for tourists, Lambertville is also an undeniably quaint slice of western New Jersey, full of centuries-preserved city blocks and dozens of unique shops, galleries and restaurants.
Specialty shops and restaurants on Union and Bridge streets
Bikes and cars park under trees on either side of Union Street, their operators busy walking between Lambertville’s plentiful art galleries, specialty shops and restaurants set in old-fashioned commercial buildings along nearby sidewalks. In a city packed with vintage and antique retailers, the four-stories of The People’s Store make it stand out. Nearby, diners enjoy the trendy atmosphere, tapas, cocktails and live music at Under the Moon Cafe, or stop for a drink at The Boat House, known for its charming nautical clutter. Rounding the corner of Bridge Street, shoppers are faced with a new commercial strip bearing the same old-school architectural styles, bookended by the pedestrian-friendly green truss bridge that leads over the river to New Hope. Art galleries fill the city, with some like Cross Pollination Gallery occasionally hosting musical acts alongside featured artists. Lambertville’s largest grocery store is the Basil Bandwagon Natural Market. Several churches hold services in the city, but the stone facade and tower of St. John the Evangelist Roman Catholic Church make it one of the most recognizable points of the city’s skyline.
Charming boutiques and bustling antique markets beckon you to wander, discover, and make a piece of Lambertville your own.
Chic cafes and vibrant patios spill onto the sidewalks, blending the town’s relaxed spirit with the pleasures of open-air dining.

Historic homes on walkable city blocks and newer homes in nearby hills
Proximity to Lambertville’s commercial core drives the historic housing market along the long, flat blocks that run parallel. “You get a sense of everything from the 18th century to the early 20th century. I like to describe it as having a patina of history,” Nowick says. Sidewalks take residents past a blend of attached and detached homes, sporting the ornately trimmed porches, mansard roofs and towers of the Victorian era as well as simpler, boxier Federal and National-style designs. Prices typically range from around $400,000 to $1 million, though fixer-uppers can go for less. The outskirts of town turn into forested hills, where buyers can find simple midcentury ranch-style homes and Cape Cods that sell for $250,000 to $400,000, as well as scattered small acreages housing newer construction or preserved historic estates that sell for $700,000 to $920,000.
Graceful front porches and tree-lined streets make every corner of Lambertville a postcard-perfect setting for small-town life by the river.
Whimsical architecture, colorful shutters, and white picket fences create a vibrant tapestry that captures the spirit and soul of Lambertville living.

Delaware River recreation and inland parks and preserves
When the railroad tracks along the Delaware and Raritan Canal went out of commission, it laid the groundwork for the creation of the Delaware and Raritan Canal State Park trail, a destination for many hikers and bikers coming through Lambertville. The Delaware River, accessible from the Lambertville Boat Ramp, is a hub for freshwater fishing, boating and tubing. Pocket parks sprinkle the city with shaded benches and colorful gardens, while the larger Ely Field is home to athletic fields and playground equipment. Outside Lambertville, hikers can take in views of the river and city from the Goat Hill Overlook, or take a drive to more distant, rocky trails through the Sourland Mountain ridge.
Fishermen drift across the glimmering Delaware River, a living reminder that in Lambertville, the rhythms of nature and community flow effortlessly together.

ShadFest, block parties and other river town cultural centers
ShadFest is a springtime tradition that marries Lambertville’s rural and small-town pastimes. Anglers cast into the Delaware River for shad as they return to freshwater spawning grounds, but a simultaneous, weekend-long street festival also draws crowds to blocks of on-land artisan booths, fair food and live music. Nowick is a fan of the city’s autumnal events: “Porchfest is great because we have a lot of musicians in town, so you can expect to wander around for six hours on a Sunday and hear everything from heavy metal to Madrigals. And our Halloween is huge – we close Union Street for the thousands of trick-or-treaters. I gave out 3,500 pieces of candy at my house.” The proximity of New Hope doubles Lambertville’s access to local art and entertainment.
Historic charm meets lively energy at Lambertville’s Logan Inn, where history, hospitality, and community spirit come together effortlessly.

Lambertville is around 40 miles from Philadelphia and 70 miles from New York City. Trenton, the state capital, is a 15-mile drive down River Road. Though the region is largely car-dependent, Trans-Bridge Lines offers limited commuter bus service to New York City and Hunterdon LINK buses focus on countywide routes. Hunterdon Medical Center is around 14 miles away, and Lehigh Valley International Airport is about 40 miles from home.
Infrastructure and insurance plans to deal with Delaware River flooding
The Delaware River Watershed has caused millions of dollars in property damage in Lambertville over the years, especially following hurricanes like Ida. Those living closest to the river and waterways like Swan Creek fall into the highest risk zones. The state has helped fund flood resilience education and community planning, and waterfront areas like Holcombe Park have development plans centered on both recreation and flood mitigation. Because Lambertville participates in a community rating system, residents can receive discounted flood insurance.
