Greenfield Village

Greenfield Village is a small detached-home estate pocket on Ichabod Crane Lane in Montgomery Township, Somerset County, built between 1995 and 1997. What sets it apart is the bedroom count: these are six-bedroom houses of roughly 4,811 to 5,342 square feet, a size and layout that most of the township's comparable communities do not offer. The two homes in the BrightMLS record traded between $1.42M and $1.55M, and the community is served by the well-regarded Montgomery Township Public Schools.

The homes

The homes on Ichabod Crane Lane are six-bedroom detached estates built between 1995 and 1997, ranging from roughly 4,811 to 5,342 square feet. Six bedrooms is genuinely unusual in Montgomery Township, where most comparable communities stop at five, so Greenfield Village tends to be the answer for households that need the extra room, whether for three or more children, multi-generational living, or a dedicated home office beyond the standard layout. At this scale, three-car garages, finished basements, and formal floor plans are the norm. The recorded sales bear the range out: 46 Ichabod Crane Lane, a 4,811 square foot six-bedroom, closed at $1,550,000 in 2025, while 100 Ichabod Crane Lane, a larger 5,342 square foot six-bedroom, closed at $1,420,000 in 2024.

Streets and setting

Greenfield Village is organized along Ichabod Crane Lane, one of the more memorable street names in the township, as a compact enclave of detached estate homes in Somerset County, zip code 08502. This is a low-density, low-turnover pocket: only a couple of homes have traded in recent years, and both sat on the same lane. The lots are generous in the way mid-1990s estate construction tended to be, more spacious than the townhome and later new-construction communities that came afterward.

Schools and commute

Every home is served by Montgomery Township Public Schools, a highly regarded public system and the primary draw for buyers targeting this part of Somerset County. Day-to-day life here is quiet and residential, and Princeton sits a short drive away, with its downtown, the university, and the shopping and dining along Route 206 all within easy reach for commuters and families alike.

Market position

With its two recorded sales between $1.42M and $1.55M, roughly a $1.49M midpoint, Greenfield Village prices below newer estate communities such as Rock Brook Estates, whose 2000 to 2002 homes sit closer to the $2M tier. Most of that gap traces to the build date: a six-bedroom, 5,000 square foot colonial at about $1.49M works out to roughly $300 per square foot, competitive on a per-bedroom basis, but the mid-1990s vintage means mechanicals, roof, and kitchen are all worth close scrutiny, and buyers should budget for updates at the scale of a 5,000 square foot house. For a buyer who has exhausted the five-bedroom options in the $1.3M to $1.5M range and still needs one more bedroom, Greenfield Village is usually the first community to check. Because so few homes trade here, pricing accurately against a thin set of comparables is where an agent who knows the pocket earns their keep.
