Rich in Revolutionary War history and once home to Joseph Bonaparte (Napoleon's older brother), Bordentown sits along the Delaware River between Philadelphia and New York City. This historic one-square-mile city is located just 27 miles from Philadelphia and 54 miles from Manhattan, combining small-town charm with metropolitan accessibility.

Bordentown's walkable downtown district features a diverse dining scene with restaurants offering Italian, American, Japanese, and Latin-American cuisine. The area around Farnsworth Avenue is home to independent bookstores, antique shops, and art galleries. Transportation options include the Bordentown Light Rail station with service to Trenton and Camden, while nearby I-295 and the New Jersey Turnpike provide access to major employment centers. The city's historic neighborhoods feature well-maintained homes, especially in the areas near the downtown district and along Prince Street, where tree-lined streets and classic architecture create an inviting residential atmosphere. With commute times of approximately 30 minutes to Philadelphia and 75 minutes to New York City, Bordentown offers an appealing combination of accessibility and small-town living.
