Lawrenceville, NJ

Tucked into Mercer County halfway between Princeton and Trenton, Lawrenceville is a historic village with a relaxed, small-town feel. Settled in 1697 along the historic King's Highway, the community has preserved much of its colonial character while growing into a welcoming home for families and professionals. Main Street forms the heart of the village, lined with centuries-old buildings, neighborhood cafes, bakeries, and local dining spots.
