Flemington is a quiet borough with experiences close by
Before Flemington became a borough of Raritan Township, it was a rural settlement full of Dutch and German farmers. The borough was named after resident, farmer and tavern owner Samuel Fleming, whose 18th-century home is now a local history museum. Today, Flemington is known for its historic buildings, access to popular retail spots and highly rated schools.
“There’s the Flemington borough, and then the area around is Raritan Township, but it’s still called Flemington,” says Beverly Yoson, a Realtor at Coldwell Banker Realty with over 10 years of experience. “The borough is a diverse area, with lots of different cultures and restaurants. When you go down Main Street, you have yoga studios, cafes, coffee shops. You get a little bit of everything. You get a small-town feel, but you have everything around you. You have shopping, like the shops on Rayville Avenue. It’s surrounded by Hunterdon County, which is rural and picturesque.”
Downtown Flemington has boutiques, antiques, gifts, and local charm in a walkable setting.

Older homes under $700,000
Yoson says Flemington has a mix of condos, townhouses and single-family homes. Many of the townhouses and condos were built around the 1980s and often sell for $350,000 to $455,000. Most homes have Craftsman, Colonial Revival or ranch-style designs, and prices range between $355,000 and $635,000. Older homes don’t have attached garages, so residents park on paved driveways alongside their homes or on the side of the street.

Easy trips to NYC and transportation destinations
U.S. Route 202 is south of the neighborhood, and most commuters take the highway to drive into Pennsylvania or to New York City. “People commute all over,” Yoson says. “A lot of people moved here from New York during COVID. They can work from home, and they might only have to commute one or two days.” Flemington is about 20 miles from Princeton and 56 miles from NYC by car. Route 31 leads up to Hunterdon Medical Center. The town is about 20 miles from the Trenton-Mercer Airport, where travelers can fly to East Coast destinations like Atlanta or Orlando, Florida.
There are churches throughout the area, including St. Magdalen Roman Catholic Church, which was established in 1847. The Flemington Jewish Community Center is about a mile from town.
The “Trial of the Century” was held in Flemington
In the 1930s, Bruno Hauptmann was tried and convicted in Flemington for kidnapping 20-month-old Charles Lindbergh, Jr. The six-week event was dubbed “The Trial of the Century” when it happened in 1938 at what is now the Hunterdon County Historic Court House. The courthouse is a museum with preserved rooms and relics from the trial. The Union Hotel across the street was where attorneys, reporters and curious spectators stayed. The hotel is currently under renovation, and current plans include a new restaurant on the first floor, hotel rooms and residential units.
