Princeton Manor

Princeton Manor is one subdivision split across two townships, and this page covers the West Windsor Township section: the community's original, older phase. It is the smaller of the two sections, 10 sales in our records against 22 on the Plainsboro Township side, and it carries a different character to match, older homes on quieter, more established streets. The municipality here is West Windsor Township for every home, with West Windsor municipal services and a West Windsor tax bill. Closed sales in our records have run from $420,000 to $915,000, with a median near $660,000.

The homes

Every home in this section is detached single-family. There are no townhomes or condominiums in our records, and it is not an age-restricted community. Floor plans run mostly four bedrooms with a few five-bedroom houses, and above-grade square footage from about 2,278 to 3,037. All of the homes date to 1970 and 1973, on Wood Hollow Road, Lake Shore Drive, and Greene Drive, a single, consistent build era unlike the newer Plainsboro side. Our data shows no HOA fee, so owners handle their own lawn care, snow removal, and exterior upkeep.

Setting

This is the established half of Princeton Manor. The 1970s streets have had more than fifty years for their landscaping to mature, giving the neighborhood a settled, tree-lined feel that the newer Plainsboro side, built roughly twenty years later, doesn't have yet. Mail here reads West Windsor.

Schools

Every address in this section is served by the West Windsor-Plainsboro Regional School District, one of New Jersey's consistently top-ranked public systems. For commuters, Princeton Junction is the nearby Northeast Corridor station, with NJ Transit service toward New York Penn Station in one direction and Trenton and Philadelphia in the other. Route 1 handles the drive to Princeton and to the corporate campuses and research parks along the corridor.

Market position

Closed sales in this section have run from $420,000 for a 2,278 square foot house on Lake Shore Drive up to $915,000 for a 3,037 square foot house on Wood Hollow Road, with a median near $660,000. Turnover is light, so two genuinely comparable homes are rarely on the market at the same time, and pricing depends on comparing within this older section rather than against the newer, larger homes on the Plainsboro side.
