About Bordentown
Bordentown is a Burlington County community that encompasses both Bordentown City — a compact, walkable historic city of about 3,800 residents — and Bordentown Township, a larger surrounding municipality of about 12,000 people. Together they share the Bordentown Regional School District and a community identity centered on one of South Jersey's most celebrated downtowns. Farnsworth Avenue in the city has earned a regional reputation as a restaurant and arts destination, with acclaimed dining, galleries, and boutiques in a Federal and Victorian streetscape that draws visitors from across the area. The community's history is extraordinary — it was briefly home to Joseph Bonaparte, the exiled King of Spain, and Thomas Paine lived here as well. The NJ Transit River Line light rail serves Bordentown, and the geographic position between Philadelphia and Trenton is a genuine commuting asset.
Living in Bordentown
Farnsworth Avenue is the heart of Bordentown's social life and its primary claim to regional recognition. The dining scene punches well above its weight for a community this size — acclaimed restaurants, lively bars, and a calendar of events that includes a well-attended arts and craft beer festival create a downtown energy that attracts visitors from throughout Burlington County and beyond. The Crosswicks Creek and Delaware River provide waterfront access and trails for outdoor recreation. The NJ Transit River Line connects to Trenton in about 15 minutes and to Camden for PATCO transfers, giving residents options for car-free commuting in two directions. The NJ Turnpike (Exit 7) and I-295 are accessible for highway commuting. Philadelphia is about 35 minutes south and Trenton is about 15 minutes north — a dual-corridor positioning that serves mixed commuter households exceptionally well.
Bordentown Real Estate Market
Bordentown's real estate market reflects the appeal of its downtown and the variety within its two distinct municipalities. In Bordentown City, historic rowhomes and townhomes in the walkable core — within easy reach of Farnsworth Avenue — range from $200-350K, with renovated homes on the most desirable blocks commanding premiums. In Bordentown Township, single-family colonials, bi-levels, and newer construction range from $300-500K, with larger lots and more suburban character. Some estate-style homes in the township's more expansive residential areas exceed $600K. The combination of the celebrated downtown, NJ Transit light rail access, and the dual Philadelphia-Trenton commuting advantage creates steady demand that supports values across both municipalities. Average days on market run 25-35 days, with Farnsworth Avenue-area properties moving fastest.
