Greenwood & Hamilton
Detached and semi-detached homes in Greenwood & Hamilton
“Properties are mostly being bought by investors," Stokes says. While many homes here need some attention, there are plenty of move-in properties available, too. As a rule, homebuyers can expect to see that homes lack a front yard and are instead bolstered by a sidewalk that gives a communal feel to the area. Occasionally there will be thin strips of grass and small hedges. More frequently, though, tall shade trees are planted along the way. The detached single-family homes reflect the late 18th-century and early 19th-century heritage of this neighborhood. These will be painted in soft colors like mint green and have period details like covered front porches or attic windows. Semi-detached brick homes can bring four bedrooms and attic space as well. Prices range from $155,000 to $300,000. Greenwood & Hamilton has a CAP Index crime score of 7 out of 10, higher than the national average of 4. Robbery scores high, as do other violent crimes. Trenton's police force hired additional officers in early 2024 and increased events for residents including summer camps, recreation programs and food assistance.

Trenton Central High has specialized learning tracks in medicine, business and more
Students can begin at Robbins Elementary and then move onto Hedgepeth-Williams Intermediate, both of which receive a D-plus from Niche. Trenton Central High makes up a large part of the east end, and it receives a C. Known as the high school once attended by rapper and entrepreneur Jay-Z, today Trenton Central is where students can dive into specialized learning communities for medicine, business, communications and other fields.Chestnut Community Garden is the biggest of its kind in Trenton
The neighborhood’s green spaces are concentrated between Walnut Avenue and Greenwood Avenue. Spots like Chambers/Locust Garden provide a place for residents to grow produce and flowers. Chestnut Community Garden, an even bigger space with rows of vegetables and fruit, is Trenton’s largest community garden and often produces over 4,000 pounds of food in the summer. Every spring, the garden’s land is tilled by horses from the Hopewell Living History Farm. In between these two gardens is Jefferson Vincent Park, which has a playground, basketball courts and open lawns.

Hamilton Avenue is lined with eateries
Hamilton Avenue on the south side is lined with eateries, and also connects with other streets providing quick access to retail. Right where Hamilton meets Broad Street is Trenton Social, an eclectic space that mixes sports bar vibes with an art gallery aesthetic – the work of local artists lines the walls. Food Bazaar at the Roebling Market shopping center on Clinton Avenue covers grocery shopping, from produce to refrigerated items. Small specialty markets are around the area, too.

Trenton Transit Center gets commuters to NYC in 90 minutes

Bus stops are widely available within the neighborhood on Hamilton, Greenwood and State – all east-west corridors.
