Lawrenceville Apartments For Rent

Overview of Lawrenceville

If you are relocating to Lawrenceville, NJ, to rent an apartment for work, chances are you probably don't know very much about this beautiful little neighborhood township. After all, with a population of only 4,000, it would not be considered a big bustling city. However, that is one of the best qualities of Lawrenceville. Because it is so close to bigger cities such as New York and Philadelphia, you can easily access a big city while enjoying what a small town has to offer.

Living in Lawrenceville

The town was originally called Maidenhead at its founding in 1697 but was changed to Lawrenceville in 1838. Washington's troops marched through the town during the Revolutionary War, and Cornwallis even spent the night there. The town includes many historical buildings that stood during the founding days, including the Presbyterian Church, which is still used by the neighborhood residents.

Today, the small town has a mission to preserve Revolutionary War-era homes and buildings while attracting modern homes and businesses. It is a beautiful place to live and provides the residents with a feeling of neighborhood living.
