Recently I have been fortunate enough to be selected to represent two sellers in Bordentown, in Burlington County but a stone's throw from Mercer County.  Here is some basic information if you are looking for a home in Bordentown, NJ.

Although the town of Bordentown City NJ hosts a rich history, it is also a modern community with much to offer residents and visitors alike. Situated at the northern tip of Burlington County and bordering Mercer County, it is at the crossroads of the American Revolution. This "little city...with a lot of charm" offers visitors a pleasant diversion. The town's beautiful and historically significant architecture showcases many interesting shops and restaurants, as well as a friendly and caring community.

History

Bordentown is located at the confluence of the Delaware River, Blacks Creek and Crosswicks Creek. The latter is the border between Burlington and Mercer Counties.  Bordentown City was originally incorporated as a borough by an Act of the New Jersey Legislature on December 9, 1825, from portions within Chesterfield Township. It was reincorporated as a city on April 3, 1867, and separated from Chesterfield Township c. 1877. (Wikipedia)

Parks and Recreation:

The Township has four major parks for our residents enjoyment:

  • Northern Community Park, Groveville Road
  • Joseph Lawrence Recreational Facility/Veterans Memorial Park, Ward Avenue,
  • Charles Bossert Park, between Eaton Road and Charles Bossert Drive, and
  • Terry Field, West Constitution Drive.

These parks provide a wide array of recreational activities to enjoy.  Organized soccer and baseball leagues provide an athletic outlet for youngsters of all ages.
