Prime location with its own identity
Located just a short trip away from New York City, Philadelphia, and more, Trenton is a city that offers its residents a prime location—along with a lot of charm and community spirit too. “The culture is really what makes Trenton special,” says Fareeda Stokes, Realtor with Harkes Realty & Associates. “We have an active art scene and a sense of community involvement that attracts a lot of people.” Whether it’s the arts, Trenton’s unique history (including its 53-day stint as the nation’s capital back in 1784), or its convenient location, the town is one worth considering for those who want to be a part of a vibrant collective.

Trenton has plenty on its own
Those looking to get out and appreciate the local scene can do so at places like the Trenton City Museum, home to art collections and artifacts from the city’s past. The Candlelight Lounge hosts jazz performances every Sunday, with touring musicians and comedians also frequenting the venue. “There’s a lot of diversified culture here,” says Stokes. “From the restaurants to the entertainment, there are a number of options to choose from on any given night.” Residents can head to the 1911 Smokehouse BBQ for a rack of ribs or check out Blue Danube Restaurant and its Eastern European staples such as stuffed cabbage and pierogies.
Open on the weekends is Ellarslie Mansion in Cadwalader Park.

Rowhouses, twins, and more classic styles
Trenton’s location makes it an appealing option for many, though its housing prices are also a draw—especially in comparison to some of its neighbors. “The last few years, since COVID especially, there’s been a real increase in popularity,” says Stokes. “Many people in Philly or farther up realized they could move here and own for what they were paying in rent.” Trenton homes are primarily made up of vintage detached and semi-detached houses, along with charming twin styles. Neighborhoods like Mill Hill feature traditional Colonials and classic brick rowhouses, fitting for a neighborhood listed on the National Register of Historic Places and known locally as Trenton’s own version of Georgetown.

Residents seeking outdoor adventure can find it at Cadwalader Park. Designed by Frederick Law Olmstead (the designer behind Central Park), Cadwalader Park is the largest park in Trenton and features its own small lake, a stream and walking paths shaded by plenty of trees. Ellarslie Mansion is the park’s centerpiece, and a popular location for picnics. Apart from Cadwalader, Trenton features over 60 additional parks and recreational areas, meaning that outdoor fun is an option just about any time.
