Expansive community popular with commuters
Hamilton Township, 3 miles from downtown Trenton, is built on serving commuters to New York City and Philadelphia. Sprawling and carved down the middle by Interstate 295, it has no downtown, but there’s no shortage of retail options woven throughout the neighborhood. Dotted with parks across its expanse, including the 350-acre Veterans Park, this is a place geared toward a “live and play” lifestyle, while work largely happens elsewhere. “I’m selling predominantly to families or young couples that become families,” said Desiree Daniels, a sales team leader at RE/MAX brokerage firm.
The Hamilton Township neighborhood features paved sidewalks and well-manicured lawns.

Trees and sidewalks mark homes in Hamilton Township
Housing in Hamilton Township is thoroughly suburban with two-bedroom cottages or renovated five-bedroom split-levels. This diverse cast of characters is placed in a leafy setting marked by sidewalks. In the $250,000 to $500,000 range there are boxy styles that appeal to a taste for streamlined living. Midcentury ranches in red brick and Cape Cods in tan stone represent the ideal of this neighborhood. Not all of these properties have garages, though. Above $500,000 and into the $750,000 range are larger properties that go in the direction of both staid tradition and contemporary reinterpretations from the 2000s and 2020s. For example, colonials and split-levels distinguished by brick show up in this category. But so do modern traditional homes that verge on Craftsman style with their tapered columns and color palettes of charcoal, stone, slate blue and stark white. Some of these may be luxury townhouses, tilting away from old-school suburbia into planned development territory.
Cape Cod houses are a common style in the Hamilton Township neighborhood.

An updated skate facility at Veterans Park
Veterans Park on the east end is the clear winner when it comes to finding a green space that matches the neighborhood’s large scope. This 350-acre park has miles of walking and biking trails that eventually pass by a lake with a fountain. There are spaces for soccer, tennis and baseball, and there’s even a skate park that was updated in 2018. Kuser Farm Park sits on the opposite side of the neighborhood, and while it may seem comparatively smaller at 22 acres, it features a Victorian mansion from the 1890s that doubles as a museum and community event space. The site also has a playground and wide grassy areas for picnicking.
Veterans Memorial Park has hundreds of acres filled with plenty for you to do.
Hamilton Township's Snell & Wilkus Memorial Park has a stone honoring members of the community.

Foley's Family Market is a prominent small business
There’s a small-town feel to Hamilton Township, and that’s evoked in the retail offerings, like the locally owned Foley’s Family Market. The grocery store is part of Hamilton Plaza, which contains a Starbucks and Crab Du Jour, a seafood buffet. On the north side, where Edinburgh Road and State Route 33 meet, there’s a more conventional concentration of shopping. CVS and Big Lots are strung near a pet food store, a bicycle shop and a hardware store. Fast food restaurants and franchises like Applebee’s make an appearance, but so do small businesses that offer pizza, Italian food, sushi and Afghani cuisine. A pair of taverns constitutes the nightlife options, while Cloak & Dagger Escape Rooms offers a spot for solving puzzles for team building, birthday parties and other events. Groceries are also available at Acme Markets and ShopRite.
Foley's Family Market is in the Kuser Plaza in Hamilton Township.

Commuting to NYC or Philly
Hamilton Train Station is a busy commuter hub, taking riders to New York City and Philadelphia in under 90 minutes. But this is very much a car-centric neighborhood, as evidenced by the multiple major roadways cutting through Hamilton Township. Besides the north-south corridor of Interstate 295, there’s Interstate 195 that goes east-west through the neighborhood. On a more local level, Broad Street leads right into Downtown Trenton, while Kuser Road is good for reaching places like Foley's Family Market. "We’re in such a central location to everything — concert halls, arenas, football stadiums, they’re all within an easy commute,” says Daniels, who was raised in the area. “Growing up, that was a big draw for my family.”

Holiday events a big draw in Hamilton Township
Events are a big part of life in Hamilton Township, especially when it comes to holidays. Spring brings the annual St. Patrick’s Parade on Nottingham Way, plus visits with the Easter Bunny at Kuser Mansion at Kuser Farm Park. Then, every Mother’s Day weekend, visitors flock to the Azalea Festival at Sayen Botanical Gardens to see over 250,000 flowering plants, get free family portraits and sample cuisine from food trucks. Warmer months bring the annual Memorial Day Parade and Fourth of July fireworks at Veterans Park. Once the weather cools off again, the park hosts Oktoberfest, with live music, hay rides and a pumpkin patch. Winter Wonderland is the big end-of-year event at Kuser Mansion, featuring rides, visits with Santa, a petting zoo and a tree lighting ceremony.
The Nottingham Garden Club has flowers at the Township of Hamilton Free Public Library.
Residents of Hamilton aren't afraid to get up and dance at the festival.
