An expanding economy
Ewing Township was one of the first suburbs of the City of Trenton, and the Prospect neighborhood is right on the city border. Ewing was a hub of industrial activity during the 20th century. Globalization saw the departure of factories that were then repurposed into municipal buildings. New tax incentives were passed in the new millennium, and in 2013, cleaning product manufacturer Church & Dwight Co. Inc. relocated its headquarters to Ewing. Biotech company Celator Pharmaceuticals came next, followed by others. Ewing's population is growing steadily as its economy expands.
Fixer-uppers to grand Victorians
Fareeda Stokes, Owner and Broker of Record of Harkes Realty & Associates, says, "Prospect is in a stage of revitalization." The wide variety of properties on the market reflects that in-between place. Investors are buying up Greek revival row houses and Victorian duplexes for under $100,000, renovating and leasing them. But there is also a large inventory of historic homes with original details that only need a little work. Two-to-four-bedroom prewar colonial row houses are selling for under $250,000. Detached, renovated Victorian homes from the 19th century with five bedrooms are listed for under $400,000.
Colonial and Dutch colonial style homes are popular in Prospect.
Most streets in Prospect have homes that are close together.

A farmers market or an Aldi
Olden Avenue, where most of the commerce in this neighborhood exists, cuts across the middle of Prospect. Strip malls house many businesses, including fast-food spots such as Sonic and Taco Bell and local sit-down restaurants like Mamma Flora's Trattoria. A ShopRite and Aldi serve as neighborhood grocers, and there's a Dollar General nearby. Down the road where Olden Ave meets the City of Trenton, patrons will find a Harbor Freight and New Jersey's longest-running farmers market, the Trenton Farmers Market, an indoor and outdoor complex where New Jersey farmers have been selling their wares year-round since 1939.

Private and public options for schooling
The vast and well-appointed campus of the private Catholic Notre Dame High School occupies several acres on the southeastern side of Prospect. In addition to its multimillion-dollar campus, the school boasts a 90% and above passing rate for Advanced Placement Exams, which is 30% higher than the state average. The Trenton Public School District has performed poorly in recent history. Niche, the school rankings website, gave Gregory Elementary School a D-plus grade. Trenton STEM-to-Civics Charter School, a sixth to 12th grade institution, received a C-plus.
Gregory Elementary School serves many of the Trenton NJ neighborhoods.
Trenton Stem-To-Civics Charter School serves about 600 students in 6th through 12th.
Older students may expect to attend Ewing High School.

A stone's throw from the river
Moody Park is the largest in Prospect, with several courts and fields for sports, indoor batting cages and a large playground recreation area. Aside from a couple of unofficial green spaces and greenways in Prospect, there are no other parks in the area. A few blocks west, however, residents will find Cadwalader Park, an expansive wooded green space on the bluffs of the Delaware River. A paved trail along the river is also frequented by runners and bikers. The Capital Area YMCA is the place for winter recreation around here.
The West Ward Rec Center is a hub of local activity.
Moody Park has an activity for every child.
