Trenton, Mercer County
What we see in Trenton
Trenton is New Jersey's capital and the Mercer County seat, a city of about 91,000 on roughly 8 square miles along the Delaware River, bordered by Ewing, Lawrence, and Hamilton. State government is the largest employer, and the Trenton Transit Center is served by Amtrak, NJ Transit, and SEPTA. Housing includes brick row homes in Mill Hill and the Trenton Ferry district, twins and single homes in the Island, and larger houses in West Ward neighborhoods such as Hiltonia, Cadwalader Heights, and Glen Afton.
Selling a house in Trenton: what's different here
Delaware River flooding
Low-lying Trenton neighborhoods along the Delaware have flooded more than once. In June 2006 more than 1,000 people were evacuated, and during Ida in 2021 streets including Riverside Drive were evacuated as water rose in the Island. Flood-zone homes can need costly insurance and repairs. We buy riverside Trenton homes as they are.
Mill Hill row homes
The Mill Hill Historic District, listed in 1977, is mostly two- and three-story brick row homes from the 1870s to 1890s, many converted back to single-family use. Homes this old often need roof, masonry, and system work before a lender will approve a loan. We buy Trenton row homes in any condition.
Vacant and abandoned houses
In 2023 the mayor estimated Trenton had about 1,000 abandoned properties, and the city council later designated the city an Area in Need of Rehabilitation to speed sales of city-owned houses. A vacant house next door or a long-empty inherited home can be hard to sell retail. We buy vacant Trenton houses for cash.

Questions from Trenton sellers
Trenton FAQ
Will you buy a Trenton house that's been vacant for years?
Yes. We buy vacant and inherited Trenton homes as-is, including houses with code issues, back taxes, or water damage.
My house in the Island neighborhood has flooded before. Can I still sell it?
Yes. We buy flood-prone Trenton homes for cash, so a buyer's flood insurance or mortgage approval isn't part of the deal.
Do all the heirs have to agree before an inherited house can be sold?
In New Jersey, an inherited house is sold through the estate, so the executor or court-appointed administrator signs the sale. We talk with each heir separately and privately, so no one has to negotiate as a group, and we'll walk you through getting an administrator appointed if that hasn't happened yet.
How fast can you close on a Trenton house?
Thirty days is typical, and clean files can move faster. If you need more time, we'll write the date you want into the contract.
Are you a local company?
Yes. We're a New Jersey company based in Toms River, and we buy in all 21 counties, including Mercer County. We are BBB accredited with an A+ rating, listed under our affiliate Gembrook Properties.
