THE WESTERN SECTION
LUXURY HOMES, Princeton Borough or Princeton Township
depending on the street
Extending
west and north from the Princeton Battle Monument, and
bounded by Bayard Lane and Elm Road, this area includes
many older, and in some cases historic, homes set on
beautiful properties with manicured lawns and shrubs,
all within walking distance of the center of town. These
attributes make this area, for many, the most desirable
and prestigious. A number of the homes and mansions have
been renovated and enlarged to accommodate the modern
lifestyle. The exteriors range from the classic styles
of the 19th and 20th centuries, such as Colonial, Tudor,
Victorian, and Gothic to more modern variations of
traditional themes. These homes line well-known,
gracefully curving streets, such as Library Place, Hodge
Road, Lafayette Road, and Cleveland Lane, once home to
Woodrow Wilson.

THE INSTITUTE &
HUN AREA LUXURY HOMES, in Princeton Borough or Township,
depending on the street
West
and south of Elm Road, this area offers many luxury
homes that are younger than those of the Western
Section, but are still large and beautiful. Dotted among
them are parks and open spaces belonging to the town and
University, as well as the Springdale golf course,
giving the area an open, graceful character without
being far removed from town. The Theological Seminary
serves to lift the thoughts of the residents to the
imponderables as they make their daily rounds, while the
Institute for Advanced Study and Albert Einstein’s
modest house may inspire the more secular passersby.
Drumthwacket, the Governor’s mansion, and the Hun School
each adds its own impressive character to its respective
neighborhood.

ROSEDALE AREA LUXURY HOMES,
Princeton Township
Bordering
Rosedale Road, heading west from the town, this section
is embroidered with many larger, stately homes that back
on Stony Brook, the Johnson Estates, the Jasna Polana
Country Club, or preserved lands. The properties tend to
be somewhat larger than those closer to the center of
town, and residents can enjoy the rolling hills,
preserved woods, and newly established parks with
playing fields, as well as the Johnson Park School. To
the west can be found the Fairview and Brookstone
neighborhoods with collections of lovely homes dating
from the 1950s. To the south of Rosedale Road are the
homes on Lambert Drive, desirable for their wooded
properties backing onto the golf course at Jasna Polana.

ETTL FARM LUXURY HOMES,
Princeton Township
Just
west of the Rosedale area is Ettl Farm, one of the
largest developments in Princeton, with more than eighty
houses. One enters amid broad, gracefully rising lawns
to reach the curving lanes lined by rather closely
spaced homes. The relative proximity gives a real sense
of neighborhood and allows generous common space, often
wooded, behind the homes. The homes are traditionally
modern with many brick or stucco facades and shingled
sides, and, as one climbs the gentle rise on which the
entire farm sits, one notices the houses are sighted to
encourage communication and interaction among residents.

PRETTY BROOK AREA LUXURY
HOMES, Princeton Township
Some
of the new mansions and gated estates of Pretty Brook
are among the most notable in Princeton. The land here
undulates in dramatic rises and falls, often with
streams or ponds decorating the low lands. This area is
wooded and quiet and feels far from the madding crowd.
Privacy is paramount. Many of the homes are built on cul
de sacs. The Woodfield Reservation and Princeton
Academy’s secluded grounds add to the rural feel of the
section. Many of the homes are set back, reached by long
driveways and are often widely separated by the woods
and hills. The Pretty Brook Tennis Club is a draw for
serious students of the game and the occasional dance or
party. Princeton Day School brings its rich amalgam of
academics, culture, and sports. Farm View Field is one
of Princeton’s new, well-groomed playing fields.

THE PRETTY BROOK AREA OF PRINCETON, TWP
PRINCETON RIDGE LUXURY
HOMES, Princeton Township
This
area shares the dramatic topography and prevalent wooded
tracts that Pretty Brook enjoys, but the housing
displays greater variety and somewhat greater density.
There are many half-acre to one-acre plots and three-car
garages. The housing size and design is both more varied
and more traditional with many of the newer houses
displaying brick facades and shingled siding
particularly along Davies Drive, Balcort Drive and
Arreton Road. Near Stuart Country Day School, along
Stuart Road and Bouvant Road, one can find innovative
and diverse examples of large, contemporary homes, many
of which are set back from the road. A number of the
houses in this area have been handsomely, even
elegantly, enlarged. There are a number of three-story
houses, and the several different neighborhoods present
graceful, rolling vistas that harmonize nature’s and
man’s design. Along some of the roads, the houses are
easily viewed while elsewhere they are largely hidden.

BATTLEFIELD AREA LUXURY HOMES, Princeton Township
On
both sides of Mercer Road stretches the expanse of the
beloved Princeton Battlefield site where wedding parties
and their photographers can often be sited. To the north
runs the Princeton-Lawrenceville Road (a.k.a. Rt. 206),
and to the west, Lower Province Line Road. Homes here
come in many shapes and sizes, with some tucked into the
back of older properties. Residents of this section can
enjoy a long walk (and occasionally cross-country
skiing), in the Institute Woods on the south side of
Mercer Road.

CENTER OF PRINCETON
LUXURY HOMES, Princeton Township or Borough depending on
the street
Princeton
Center – in and around the heart of Princeton -- is
sprinkled with a variety of 19th and early 20th century
large, family homes, many occupied by university
faculty. Their locations afford a short walk or bike
ride to the center of town, to the University or to
Westminster Choir College. Residents here tend to know
each other and enjoy neighborhood living. A number of
these houses have been substantially renovated inside
while maintaining the original character of the
exterior. In addition to easy downtown access, this area
is convenient to the high school, middle school, charter
school, and the Princeton Shopping Center.

CARNEGIE
LAKE AREA LUXURY HOMES, RIVERSIDE SECTION AND
LITTLEBROOK SECTION, Princeton Township
Bounded
on the south and east by Carnegie Lake, and running
along both sides of Route 27 (a.k.a. Nassau Street),
this is a quiet residential area containing two public
elementary schools: Riverside and Littlebrook. A number
of new homes have been built throughout the area, the
most notable ones along the lake. Some are individual
sprawling mansions while others are of more recognizable
designs. The lots tend to run smaller than in some other
sections. This area of fairly dense housing is in fact a
series of small neighborhoods.

TOWN & COUNTRY
LUXURY HOMES, Princeton Township
This
area, a five-minute car ride or a twenty-minute walk
from Princeton Center, offers mainly older, traditional
homes, a few newly constructed modern homes, and even a
few historic homes such as Mansgrove on Terhune Road. A
number of existing homes here have been modernized and
upgraded to the Luxury Home category. They are scattered
throughout the area. Among the area’s advantages are
neighborhoods where people know each other, and easy
access to public parks, playing fields, tennis,
community pools, as well as public schools, Westminster
Choir College, the Princeton Shopping Center, Mountain
Lakes Nature Preserve, Herrontown Woods, Autumn Hill
Reservation, the Princeton Medical Center (Princeton
Hospital), and a number of doctors’ offices.
