About

Princeton Township surrounds the Borough of Princeton like a doughnut around the hole. It is one of New Jerseys most prestigious communities. Whereas the Borough has an urban appearance typified by Nassau Street, the Township is more suburban and offers more open space, larger properties, and a variety of residential areas. It has a more established feeling than many other local area communities. The Township is steeped in American history. Major battles of the Revolutionary War were fought here. Princeton’s Battlefield State Park is one key attraction.

The Borough and the Township enjoy very cordial relations. Although they have separate governments there are numerous joint agencies. The Princeton Regional School District, shared by the Township and the Borough, is considered one of the best in the State. The Township offers many parks, open spaces, and some of Mercer County’s most scenic vistas all of which attract many joggers, bikers, climbers, bird-watchers and nature lovers. Other popular recreation areas are the Delaware and Raritan Canal, for strolling, picnicking or biking, and Lake Carnegie, a man-made 3-mile lake for sail boating, sculling and winter ice skating. In addition to the prestigious Borough academic institutes the Township includes four of the nations best private schools. Housing ranges from two-story townhouses to million -dollar mansions.
