Northridge

Northridge is the twin-home half of the Princeton Ridge HOA. All 40 units sit on Stonewall Circle, a cul-de-sac reached from Route 206 by way of Cherry Hill Road and then Davies Drive, at the northern edge of Princeton. The association describes these as townhome-style residences, but BrightMLS records every one of them as twin or semi-detached, meaning each house shares a single common wall with its twin rather than sitting in a row. Alongside them, 49 detached single-family homes make up the rest of the 89-home association. Northridge is also one of the quietest resale stories on this site: BrightMLS shows just three closings here going back to 2019.

The homes

The houses are colonial-style twins built between 1997 and 2001, three to four bedrooms with 2.5 to 3.5 bathrooms and attached garages. The three recorded sales document interiors of 2,555, 2,824 and 2,824 sq ft, which is generous for an attached product. Both recent closings were 2,824 sq ft units with cathedral ceilings and full basements, one of them finished. Construction is not uniform: the 2001 house at 23 Stonewall Circle is brick, while the 1998 house at 35 Stonewall Circle is frame. Because so few units trade, an appraiser or a buyer working here usually has to reach outside Northridge for supporting comparables, which is a real practical consideration on both sides of a deal.

Streets and setting

There is only one street. Stonewall Circle loops off Davies Drive, which runs from Cherry Hill Road, which in turn connects to Route 206. That layered approach keeps through traffic out entirely. Listings here describe open space and protected woodland at the rear of the properties, and both John Witherspoon Woods and the Billy Johnson Mountain Lakes Preserve are reachable from Cherry Hill Road. The Princeton Ridge association maintains a double set of tennis courts off Davies Drive that Northridge residents share with the detached-home side of the community, along with the walking paths that listings here routinely mention.

Schools and commute

Northridge is served by Princeton Public Schools. Recent Stonewall Circle listings have shown Community Park Elementary, Princeton Middle School (the Walnut Lane school formerly named John Witherspoon Middle School) and Princeton High School, each listed at roughly 1.7 to 1.9 miles from the neighborhood. Attendance zones can change, so confirm the current assignment with the district before relying on it. For drivers, Route 206 is the working road: south toward Nassau Street and the university, north toward Montgomery and Somerset County.

Market position

Pricing here has to be read off individual sales rather than a median. BrightMLS records three closings in Northridge: $825,000 in April 2019, $1,050,000 in January 2025 and $1,201,000 in April 2026. The 2019 figure is historical context, not a guide to today. The two recent sales are the useful ones, and they moved in opposite directions from the same $1,100,000 asking price. 23 Stonewall Circle took 56 days and settled below list at $1,050,000 in a January market, while 35 Stonewall Circle drew a buyer in 11 days and closed above list at $1,201,000 the following spring. That spread, on two nearly identical 2,824 sq ft floor plans, is the honest picture of a 40-home community: condition, finish level and timing move the number more than any neighborhood average could. With sales this rare, the pricing conversation starts with a careful look at what is genuinely comparable.
