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.
