Franklin Park blends classic early 20th-century brick rowhomes and twins with shaded, walkable blocks in Trenton. Bordering Villa Park and Chambersburg, it offers a residential feel with easy access to corner markets, local eateries, and major corridors like South Broad Street and Hamilton Avenue. Commuters appreciate the short hop to the Trenton Transit Center, where NJ TRANSIT and connections to Philadelphia via SEPTA put regional job centers within reach, while nearby routes streamline drives across Mercer County.
Families will find practical school options through Trenton Public Schools, including the modernized Trenton Central High School, known for expansive arts, athletics, and career programs. Side streets invite evening strolls, and neighborhood pride shows up in tended stoops, backyard gardens, and friendly block gatherings.
Weekends are packed with possibilities: living history at the Old Barracks Museum, art and planetarium shows at the New Jersey State Museum, and summer nights at Trenton Thunder Ballpark. Big-ticket concerts and events at CURE Insurance Arena add to the entertainment mix, and cafés downtown make it easy to turn errands into an afternoon out.
