Bayard Court

Bayard Court is one of the few Princeton-district pockets where the median sale price still starts with a 9. The 1968 to 1983 construction window spans enough years to include both the earlier detached structures and a later townhome phase, which is why both product types appear under the same MLS subdivision flag. At 22 Mountain Avenue and 33 Duffield Place, buyers are getting 1,881 to 2,038 square feet of three-bedroom living inside the Princeton boundary, at a price point most Princeton neighborhoods exited a decade ago.

The Mountain Avenue and Duffield Place addresses sit in an established residential pocket of Princeton, with the typical Princeton K-12 pipeline access and a quieter street character than the busier downtown corridors. The trade-off for the sub-$1M entry point is the vintage and size: these are mid-size 1970s and early-1980s homes, not the larger newer-construction or fully-renovated detached stock that drives the $2M-plus end of Princeton.

Two recent closed sales and no current active listings confirm this is a community where patience matters on both sides of a transaction. Sellers wait for the right buyer at this price point, and buyers who specifically want a sub-$1M Princeton-district home have limited options to choose from. When a Bayard Court home does come to market, the combination of price and Princeton school district tends to generate quick interest from buyers who have already been searching the Princeton market for some time.
