Why families choose
Gentry
Gentry represents the top tier of Plainsboro residential living. With 350 single-family homes built between 1982 and 1995, it is one of the township's largest and most established neighborhoods. Homes average 2,526 square feet with generously sized lots, mature trees, and the kind of space families typically associate with more expensive towns.
The housing stock features well-built colonial and contemporary homes, many with four or five bedrooms, finished basements, and two-car garages. Community amenities include a pool, clubhouse, tot lots, baseball fields, walking paths, and tennis courts -- all supported by a modest HOA of approximately $89 per month, managed by Piazza and Associates.
The WW-P school district is a major draw. Families get access to one of New Jersey's top-ranked public school systems while paying less than comparable homes in West Windsor or Princeton. For buyers who work along the Route 1 corridor at companies like Bristol-Myers Squibb or Novo Nordisk, the commute is exceptionally short.
Gentry homes hold their value well because they occupy a sweet spot: luxury-level space in a top school district at prices that remain below Princeton and most of West Windsor. The low HOA and extensive amenities add to the appeal. Competition for listings here tends to be strong, particularly for updated homes on the community's best lots.

FAQ
What is the price range in Gentry?
Most homes sell between $850K and $1.3M, with a median around $1.05M. Price depends on lot size, renovation level, number of bedrooms, and whether the basement is finished. Fully updated homes on corner or cul-de-sac lots tend to command premiums.
How does Gentry compare to West Windsor neighborhoods?
Gentry offers similar home sizes and the same WW-P school district at somewhat lower prices than most West Windsor single-family neighborhoods. The trade-off is that West Windsor has more retail and transit options within its borders.
What is the commute like from Gentry?
Route 1 is minutes away, providing direct access to the biotech corridor and major highways. Princeton Junction station (NJ Transit to Penn Station NYC) is about 10-12 minutes by car. Many Gentry residents work along the Route 1 corridor and have very short commutes.
Are there HOA fees in Gentry?
Yes, approximately $89 per month, managed by Piazza and Associates. This covers the pool, clubhouse, tot lots, baseball fields, walking paths, tennis courts, and common area maintenance -- notably low for the amenities provided.
