Braeburn Heights
Suburban Neighborhood in Ewing, New Jersey
Mercer County 08638
Braeburn Heights is a small splice of Ewing Township. The neighborhood is located at the base of The College of New Jersey and near the Delaware River.
Braeburn Heights has a healthy mix of investment properties and move-in-ready homes. Housing styles primarily feature quaint ranch-styles, bungalows and colonials. You can also find multi-family properties and apartments. Empty lots and investment properties cost anywhere from $50,000 to $300,000, while move-in-ready and newly built homes range between $350,000 to $550,000. With the wide range of prices, first-time homebuyers have found success in the area, says Lisa Theodore, a Compass Relator. "It's the perfect place for first-time home buyers because of the affordability," Theodore says. "Home prices are more affordable in Ewing Township than in other areas of the greater Princeton area." But you'll have to act fast. "Everything sells fast in New Jersey, period," Theodore says.
Neighborhood children can attend Ewing Public Schools, beginning at one of three elementary schools: W.L. Antheil Elementary, Francis Lore Elementary and Parkway Elementary. Students then come all together at Gilmore J. Fisher Middle School. At Ewing High School, eligible students can enroll in up to five college courses at The College of New Jersey, Rider University and Mercer County Community College. Ewing High School has earned an overall B rating from Niche, including an A for its diversity, an A-minus for its sports programs, and a B for college preparation. The College of New Jersey, conveniently located in the township, is ranked as the top public school in the Northern United States, according to U.S. News World & Report. Ewing is also home to Marie H. Katzenbach School for the Deaf, which has educated children from pre-kindergarten to age 21 for over a century.
After school, take your little ones to Higgs Park. A quaint 3-acre outdoor space, Higgs Park is named after Florence S. Higgs, a beloved local educator and principal of the former Ewing Park Elementary School that once stood where the park is. Kids can romp around Higg Park's playground or shoot hoops on the basketball court. There's also a picnic area, grills and a gazebo. For more active recreation, the play to be is Moody Park. If there's a little league or adult league ball game happening, it's probably at one of Moody Park's baseball, softball or t-ball fields. There are also batting cages and concession stands. If baseball isn't your sport, have no fear. Moody Park has basketball courts and football fields, providing space for nearly every sport in every season. Or, if a round of golf is your pleasure, try out the green at Mountain View, a public golf course. Washington Crossing State Park is nearby, where George Washington crossed the Delaware River in 1776. You can hike and visit a museum on the grounds.
The township has a wide selection of eateries, from "restaurants overlooking the river, fast food and there's in-between mom & pop owned places," Theodore says. Braeburn Heights has a local pizza place, a wing and sub shop and a deli. Nearby, you can run a bunch of errands from grocery shopping at the ShopRite of Ewing, filling a prescription, mailing off packages or stopping at the bank.
Thanks to nearby major roadways, Braeburn Heights residents can easily access New York, Princeton and Philadelphia. The Trenton-Mercer Airport is also right in town.
