Communiversity is tomorrow! This is one of our favorite annual events in Princeton. It is when the Princeton community and Princeton University come together to host one of the best street parties this side of the Mississippi! Check out our video about it and we hope you will attend this wonderful event. Enjoy! Sig & Syl
How about that for a headliner and how about that crazy hair! This truly unique Princeton event is not to be missed. It will be on March 14th as well as the weekend before from March 9th to the 11th. Einstein (one of Princeton’s many famous residents) was born on March 14, 1879. Just so happens that 3 14 is the numeric equivalent of Pi, hence the reason for the date of this celebration. This is the brain child of one of our favorites, the ever-so-fabulous founder of the Princeton Tour Company, Mimi O. There will be free trolley tours, pie-eating contests, an Einstein look-a-like contest (one of our favorites), pi recitation contest (you won’t see me in this one, but maybe Syl), Suzuki violin contest, mathlete contest, Dinky rides with Einstein and much much more. Princeton is an amazing town and it is special events like these that further highlight just how much this community has to offer.

It has been an interesting 2011 and we are looking forward to a good 2012. The housing market is inching back and the Princeton area continues to hold steady. In Princeton the number of units sold was up +8.4% from 2010 and the average sale price increased slightly with +3.3%. Interest rates are at an all time low and rentals at an all time high.
Voters in Princeton Borough and Princeton Township set a precedent in N.J. by voting to consolidate the two towns into a single municipality. This is good news as it is expected to save as much as 3.2 million dollars a year by combining the two governments and services. We are hoping the rest of New Jersey will follow suit and help reduce the debt! It is smart decisions like this that keep Princeton on solid ground now and in the future. All signs point towards 2012 as a great year to buy!
Cheers! Sig&Syl
We never dreamed living in the heart of Princeton could be so easy! Thanks to the new Residences at Palmer Square this dream is now a reality. The Residences are a mixture of townhomes and condominiums designed with luxury and convenience in mind. Seven buildings in all and each with a unique floor plan. The townhomes offer up to 4500 square feet with up to 3 bedrooms and 3 ½ baths, private elevator, and access to on-site-garage parking. The condominiums offer up to 4100 square feet and access to on-site-garage parking as well. Finishes are the finest with granite countertops and Viking appliances in the kitchens, dramatic 9 to 10ft. ceilings and beautiful craftsmanship throughout. No luxury has been overlooked and the proximity to everything Princeton has to offer couldn’t be better. If you’ve been thinking of downsizing or have grown weary of dealing with a yard and all that entails, then this is the place for you. Or if you’ve been on the fence about buying, there are brand new units available for rent as well. To find out all of the fabulous details go to: www.palmersquareresidences.com. You can email us too as we’d be happy to give you a tour! Sigrid.Keough@hendersonSIR.com, Sylmarie.Trowbridge@hendersonSIR.com. Enjoy! Sig & Syl
When thinking about moving to a new place there is one rather small,
but very important detail that we feel should not be overlooked. Where is the local coffee hangout? Not the chains, but the place that all of the
locals like to go to meet up with friends, have a chat and find out what’s happening in the community. In Princeton you only need to know three words, Small World Coffee! Owners Jessica Durrie and Brant Cosaboom, opened this vibrant community-centric coffee store in 1993 and
haven’t looked back. It is truly the heart of the Princeton community. Not only is the coffee amazing, roasted locally, but there is often live
music as well as fantastic artwork on display by local artists. You may run into a neighbor, a student, or a world renowned professor.
Honestly, Syl and I wouldn’t know what to do without our daily dose of Small World. Enjoy! Sig & Syl
