The Glen

The Glen solves a specific problem: buyers who want a detached Princeton home in the $1.3M to $1.5M range, in the Princeton Public Schools district, on a quiet street without cut-through traffic. Three cul-de-sacs, Florence Lane, James Court, and Kimberly Court, make up the community, and the homes are close enough in size and vintage that the comparables read cleanly. The three recent closed sales cluster around a $1,382,500 median.

The homes

The Glen's homes are detached and were built between 1984 and 1986, almost all with three bedrooms, two full and one half bath, and between 2,562 and 2,858 square feet. That is a tight, smaller-format band compared with Princeton's big estate neighborhoods, and it is exactly what makes the comps easy to read. 39 Florence Lane sold for $1,382,500 in June 2025 and 24 James Court for $1,300,000 in August 2024, both three-bedroom homes of similar size. A renovated home can reach higher, as 7 Kimberly Court did at $1,711,500 in July 2024, but the core of the community trades near the $1.38M median. A monthly HOA of roughly $58 to $62 covers shared upkeep.

Streets and setting

The Glen is built around three quiet cul-de-sacs, Florence Lane, James Court, and Kimberly Court, with Glen Drive also part of the community. The dead-end layout means essentially no cut-through traffic, which is the practical draw for families with young children. Homes sit on the modest, walkable lots typical of mid-1980s Princeton subdivisions, and the low-key streetscape keeps day-to-day life quiet.

Schools and commute

Every home is served by Princeton Public Schools, the primary reason most buyers target this address, and the community sits in the 08540 ZIP code. Downtown Princeton and the University are a short drive away, and the Princeton Junction station on the Northeast Corridor line puts the New York and Philadelphia commute within reach while the cul-de-sac setting keeps the neighborhood residential and calm.

Market position

At a $1,382,500 median, The Glen offers a detached Princeton home in the Princeton Public Schools district below the price premium attached to the town's larger or more prominent communities. Turnover is low, so only a handful of homes trade in a typical year, and when one comes up it tends to find a buyer quickly, with recent sales going under contract in roughly 8 to 13 days. A four-bedroom on Glen Drive was recently listed at $1,650,000, showing the ceiling a larger floor plan can reach. Because true comparables are few, pricing a Glen home accurately against the handful that exist is where an agent who knows the community earns their keep.
