Lawrenceville Green

Lawrenceville Green is one of Lawrence Township's established detached single-family neighborhoods, built out over more than three decades from around 1950 through the mid-1980s. Because the homes went up across such a long span rather than in a single phase, the streetscape carries genuine variety: modest post-war ranches and capes sit alongside larger, later colonials, many carrying decades of owner updates. The neighborhood is laid out along Lawrencia Drive, Titus Avenue, and Edith Drive, with short courts such as Knox Court, Hamilton Court, and Andrew Drive. Recent BrightMLS closings have run from the high $500,000s to about $950,000, with a median near $830,000.

The homes

Lawrenceville Green is entirely detached single-family. Floor plans are family-sized, generally three to four bedrooms and roughly 1,600 to 3,200 square feet, with the larger and later-built homes clustering toward the top of the range. Expect a spread of styles that reflects the neighborhood's long build history, from compact mid-century ranches and expanded capes to more formal 1980s colonials. After decades of single-family ownership, many homes carry updated kitchens, baths, and finished basements, so a buyer can find both a right-sized, move-in home in the $700,000s and a larger, renovated house approaching $950,000 within the same few blocks.

Streets and setting

The neighborhood sits within Lawrence Township, roughly between Princeton and Trenton along the Route 1 and Route 206 corridors. Interior streets like Lawrencia Drive, Titus Avenue, and Edith Drive carry little through traffic, and the short courts, Knox, Hamilton, and Andrew among them, feel quieter still. Lots are mature and well established by township standards, with the settled landscaping that comes from decades of ownership rather than a recent build-out. Everyday shopping, groceries, and services along the Route 1 corridor are only a short drive away, and Princeton itself is roughly ten minutes to the north.

Schools and commute

Every home is served by Lawrence Township Public Schools. For commuters, Lawrence Township's position along Route 1 and Route 206 puts Princeton roughly ten minutes away and Trenton just to the south, while Northeast Corridor riders reach the trains at the Hamilton or Princeton Junction stations for service toward New York and Philadelphia. That combination of a central Mercer County location, easy highway access, and nearby rail is a large part of why buyers weigh Lawrence against pricier addresses closer to Princeton.

Market position

At a median around $830,000, Lawrenceville Green sits in the middle of Lawrence Township's detached single-family market, offering a full-size home and lot without the premium attached to Princeton itself. That positioning makes it a natural target for families who want space and a detached house while staying close to Princeton's jobs and amenities. Because the homes vary so much in size, vintage, and level of updating, pricing any one house accurately against the right comparables is where working with an agent who knows the street-by-street differences pays off.
