Berkeley Square & Parkside
Suburban Neighborhood in Ewing, New Jersey
Mercer County 08618
In Berkeley Square & Parkside, you can put down roots along the Delaware River. A small neighborhood in New Jersey's capital city, Berkeley Square & Parkside, is a primarily residential community. The Berkeley Square section is considered one of the earliest examples of a planned community in the country, earning it a spot on the National Register of Historic Places.
Trenton's overall location and housing prices are a draw, says Fareeda Stokes, a Realtor broker-owner of Harkes Realty & Associates. In the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic, Stokes saw a lot of North New Jersey and Philadelphia residents migrating to Trenton or further south. "They were paying high rent prices and realized they could come here and get more house for their money and own instead of rent," Stokes says. Many detached homes on Berkeley Square & Parkside's residential streets reflect Victorian styles. Along Riverside Avenue, you will find nearly century-old, spacious properties like French Tudors, Greek Revivals and colonials. Homes on Riverside can cost anywhere from $130,000 to $530,000. And that's because prices depend on location, condition and amenities, Stokes says.
Neighborhood children can attend the Trenton Public School District, like Cadwalader Elementary. Arthur J. Holland Middle School, located in Berkeley Square & Parkside, educates seventh- and eighth-grade students. For high school, first-year students attend Trenton's Ninth Grade Academy and then move on to Trenton Central High School for the remainder of their education. Trenton Central High School has earned an A-minus in diversity and a B in sports from Niche.
For outdoor recreation, there's Cadwalader Park. Designed by Frederick Law Olmstead, the mastermind designer behind Central Park, Cadwalader Park is the largest park in Trenton. The Ellarslie Mansion, the park's centerpiece, is an Italianate villa from the 1840s. The 100-acre park includes tennis courts, ball fields and walking paths. At Stacy Park, take in views of the Delaware River as you go for a stroll. There are over 60 additional parks and recreational areas in Trenton where neighbors gather for cookouts, concerts and birthday parties.
While Berkeley Square & Parkside has yet to have any of its own dining spots, Trenton has plenty of places to enjoy a variety of cuisines. "In terms of food, there are several options to choose from during a night on the town," Stokes says. A quick drive from Berkeley Square & Parkside, you can enjoy smokehouse barbecue, Eastern European dishes and Jamaican plates. A ShopRite is also minutes away, making grocery trips quick and easy.
Trenton has an Amtrak line and is close to all major highways. The city's overall proximity to New York City, Philadelphia and Jersey Shore "is prime for people who enjoy going to those specific areas but don't want to deal with the congestion of living there," Stokes says. If this Trenton neighborhood checks off all your boxes, settle into life in Berkeley Square & Parkside.
