Homes in Berkeley Square & Parkside have historical character

Trenton's overall location and housing prices are a draw, says Fareeda Stokes, a Realtor broker-owner of Harkes Realty & Associates. In the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic, Stokes saw a lot of North New Jersey and Philadelphia residents migrating to Trenton or further south. "They were paying high rent prices and realized they could come here and get more house for their money and own instead of rent," Stokes says. Many detached homes on Berkeley Square & Parkside's residential streets reflect Victorian styles. Along Riverside Avenue, you will find nearly century-old, spacious properties like French Tudors, Greek Revivals and colonials. Homes on Riverside can cost anywhere from $130,000 to $530,000. And that's because prices depend on location, condition and amenities, Stokes says.
