Bordentown blends small-city scale with big history along the Delaware River. Brick rowhouses and 19th‑century storefronts frame Farnsworth Avenue’s cafes, galleries, and mom‑and‑pop eateries, while a lively calendar brings neighbors together for maker markets and the beloved Cranberry Fest. Minutes from Trenton, Hamilton Township, and Princeton, and part of Burlington County, the city offers a connected address with a distinctive identity.
History buffs find plenty to explore: reformer Clara Barton launched her pioneering public school here, celebrated by the Bordentown Historical Society and its schoolhouse museum. Outdoor time is easy at Bordentown Beach and along the Delaware & Raritan Canal towpath, where paddling, biking, and birding are everyday options. Local history also includes the Point Breeze estate of Joseph Bonaparte, inspiring walking tours and neighborhood lore. Downtown’s independent shops, yoga studios, and coffeehouses keep daily errands close and enjoyable.
Families value the Bordentown Regional School District, known for strong arts and STEM offerings, and city services highlighted by the City of Bordentown. Commuters appreciate NJ TRANSIT’s River Line at the local station, linking to major rail hubs, plus quick access to I‑295, U.S. 130, and the Turnpike.
