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.

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.

Cadwalader Park is the spot for outdoor fun
Residents seeking outdoor adventure can find it at Cadwalader Park.

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.
