Why buyers pay for this ZIP code
The train. Princeton Junction is on NJ Transit's Northeast Corridor line, with direct service to New York Penn Station in about an hour. It is the reason the station area commands a premium over the rest of the township, and the reason new construction keeps getting approved within walking distance of it. Two communities are genuinely walk-to-platform: Link at W Squared, built by Pulte right at the station and now sold out, and on the resale side Enclave at Princeton Junction. Most of the township drives in.
Princeton without Princeton prices. The Princeton Branch shuttle connects the station to Princeton itself, so buyers get access to the town without paying the Princeton median. Southbound trains reach Trenton, where SEPTA continues toward Philadelphia.
Schools. The West Windsor-Plainsboro Regional district serves the whole area, with WW-P High School North and South both ranked among the state's strongest. For most buyers here this is the deciding factor alongside the train. Compare the districts on the WW-P schools page.
