A suburban community with top-rated schools
Set 6 miles from Princeton, Heathcote is a centrally located community known for its top-rated schools and a variety of housing. “Heathcote is an area that is really kind of like three towns: Kendall Park, Monmouth Junction and Princeton,” says John Scott Petrozzini, who grew up nearby and is a sales associate with Greater Princeton Group of Re/Max Professionals, “but there’s still a big sense of community feeling. People interact with each other, and everybody looks happy because you really have everything right there.” The community sits between Route 1 and Route 27, providing easy access to commercial areas and public transportation to New York, which is about an hour away.
Subdivisions with a variety of houses, townhouses and condos
Heathcote is split into several subdivisions that are characterized by curving, sidewalk-lined streets ending in cul-de-sacs. Most homes are ranch-style and new traditional houses with Colonial Revival and Craftsman influences. Homes closest to Promenade Boulevard sit close together, while those along the neighborhood’s edges have more space between neighbors.
Houses built in the 20th century range from $550,000 to $900,000, while newer homes cost between $1.2 million and $1.7 million. Some are in subdivisions with homeowners associations, where monthly fees can range from $300 to $550. Princeton Manor is a gated 55-plus community built in the 2000s and 2010s, with prices ranging from $650,000 to $1 million and monthly HOA fees around $350.
The one- to three-bedroom condos and townhouses here were mostly built in the 1980s and ‘90s. Depending on size, they range in price from around $270,000 to $830,000, plus HOA fees between $250 and $400.
Newer homes in Heathcote cost between $1.2 million and $1.7 million.

Nearby hiking trails
The 88-acre Heathcote Meadows Preserve sits in the neighborhood’s south, offering hiking trails through protected grassland and forest. The over 70-mile Delaware and Raritan Canal State Park Trail, also called the D&R Canal Trail or the towpath, is another big draw for the area. “You can go hiking or walk your dog, and you see people in canoes and kayaks on the canal,” Petrozzini says. “From Heathcote, it’s basically five minutes away.” The roughly 36-acre Woodlot Park nearby has a playground and baseball fields, plus a community center that hosts kids’ summer camps.
