Why buyers choose
Edgerstoune
Edgerstoune takes its name from the estate built in 1903 for financier Archibald Russell, designed by the prominent architectural firm Clinton & Russell. That estate is now the campus of the Hun School of Princeton. The neighborhood is also adjacent to Drumthwacket, the official residence of the Governor of New Jersey. Properties sit on some of the largest residential lots in Princeton proper, many exceeding an acre, with mature trees and deep setbacks that give the area a distinctly rural feel despite being minutes from downtown.
The housing stock includes homes dating to the early 1900s alongside mid-century builds, with architectural styles ranging from Colonial Revival to fieldstone farmhouse. Many homes have been carefully maintained or renovated over decades, blending period details with modern systems. The variety means no two properties look alike.
Location is part of the draw. Edgerstoune sits south of downtown near Constitution Hill, with easy access to the Princeton Shopping Center and Route 206. The Institute for Advanced Study and its surrounding woods are nearby, adding a buffer of open green space that reinforces the neighborhood's secluded feel.
The main challenge is availability. Turnover is extremely low. When a home does come to market, it attracts attention quickly from buyers who have been watching the neighborhood for months or years. If you want to live in Edgerstoune, patience and preparation are essential.
