About Princeton
Princeton is a small friendly town with
plenty of academic and cultural sophistication. Princeton
University's ivied walls dominate one side of the town's main
street, with Nassau Hall, briefly the capital of the US, lying
directly in front of the towns commercial center of Palmer
Square. Here one finds a string of bustling businesses, quaint
shops, eateries, and the historic Nassau Inn, once a stagecoach
stop between Philadelphia and New York.
Princeton is home to many historic sites, the
McCarter Theater reportedly the seventh busiest performing arts
center in the nation, the Princeton Ballet, the Princeton Arts
Council, the Westminster Choir College and the Princeton Pro
Musica. Princeton has miles of charming, tree lined residential
streets offering a variety of housing including Victorian homes,
stone and mortar structures, single family homes, townhouses and
duplexes.
Princeton has been home to famous people
including Albert Einstein, Woodrow Wilson, Grover Cleveland and
more recently Toni Morrison and John Chancellor. Also in the
Borough are the Institute for Advanced Study, the Princeton
Theological Seminary, American Boychoir School and an excellent
Medical Center.
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 sailboating, 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.
