Characteristics

Transportation

The best approach to navigate Bordentown is usually a car. The majority of real estate listings are a short drive from the nearest highway, such as I-295, and it is very convenient to find a place to park. On the other hand, the public transit infrastructure in this township is quite bad. Nevertheless, there is Roebling Light Rail Station and Bordentown Light Rail Station on the Riverline Light Rail. The township is connected by a few bus lines. Traveling by bicycle is challenging in Bordentown because the cycling infrastructure is not very well-developed, and there are a fair number of slopes. It is also inconvenient for pedestrians to get around in Bordentown since few common errands can be run without the need to use a vehicle.

Services

It is rarely an option for property owners in Bordentown to shop for their groceries without a vehicle. A limited number of restaurants and coffee shops are available as well. With respect to education, house buyers may find it challenging to reach high schools and primary schools without the need for a vehicle. Apart from public schools, there are private elementary and secondary schools.

Character

Bordentown offers a relaxed ambience. Bordentown is quiet overall, as noise from the streets and other parts of the city is rarely an issue - although that is not the case closer to one of the railway lines or I-295. It is rather challenging to reach parks from the majority of locations within the township since they are spread out sporadically. Despite that, there are around 40 parks close by for residents to visit.
