Woods Edge

Woods Edge occupies a unique spot on the map: a Princeton mailing address paired with Montgomery Township Public Schools. That combination gives residents the cachet of the Princeton name and the strength of one of New Jersey's top-performing school districts, all in a quiet residential setting near Cherry Valley Road where the suburban landscape gives way to preserved farmland and woodlands.

The community's Ivy League street names -- think Harvard, Yale, Dartmouth -- reflect its aspirational positioning, and the homes match. Built in the mid-1990s, they offer solid construction with three to four bedrooms and up to 2,229 square feet, sized right for families who want room without the maintenance burden of a much larger estate.

At a median price around $865K, Woods Edge is more affordable than most Princeton-address single-family homes while delivering comparable quality of life. The neighborhood is small and well-maintained, with moderate turnover that keeps values stable and the community cohesive.
