Andrews Foulet

Andrews Foulet's draw is straightforward: large houses in the Princeton school district, at prices below the Brookstone or Rushbrook tier. The homes at addresses like 2 Andrews Lane and 10 Foulet Drive run to 4,676 square feet at the top end, with five bedrooms throughout. Built between 1980 and 1993, this is an era of construction where the bones are sound and the floor plans accommodate modern living without major structural changes. The result is a small Princeton-district enclave at a price point that the larger and more visible Princeton neighborhoods have outgrown.

The Foulet Drive and Andrews Lane addresses sit inside the Princeton boundary, which means buyers are assigned to Princeton Public Schools from kindergarten through grade twelve, the same district that serves the much higher-priced Brookstone and Rushbrook subdivisions. For a five-bedroom, 4,000-plus square foot detached home inside Princeton, the median of $1,975,000 represents value relative to the rest of the town's single-family market in this size bracket.

The pricing math here is specific to size and scarcity. A five-bedroom, 4,000-plus square foot house in Princeton Public Schools, not in a large planned community, on a short residential street, transacts in a relatively thin buyer pool. That means sellers wait longer for the right buyer, and buyers who know what they want can often negotiate from a less frenzied position than they would in higher-volume Princeton communities. Two closed sales and one active listing confirm the slow but real cadence of this market.
