WELCOME to PHILLIPSBURG
Welcome to Phillipsburg (P-Burg to the locals), a town perched on the banks of the Delaware River with strategic access to the Lehigh Valley, a hop, skip and jump away from the Poconos and a straight shot to NYC just right up 78.
Phillipsburg's Real Estate Landscape
Whether you're a first-time buyer looking to get your foot in the door, an investor ready to grow your portfolio, or just someone who knows a good deal when they see it, Phillipsburg should be on your radar.
This riverside industrial town is currently on the upswing reinventing and revitalizing itself, offering both established neighborhoods along with areas of emerging opportunity. There are a lot of fixer-uppers here with properties going for a fraction of what youād pay just across the river or in most other areas of NJ.
In town, thereās a traditional small-town feel with a mix of Victorian homes (think: wrap-around porches, original hardwood floors and all that good stuff) along with reasonably priced townhouses. And for investor types, Lafayette College is just a stoneās throw away in Easton. So, thereās always a demand for rentals. Converting some of these larger homes into multi-units? Something to think about for a solid cash flow opportunity! On the outskirts, single-family homes with generous yards and riverfront views dominate the landscape.
Phillipsburgās ideal location, accessibility and affordability makes it one of the most attractive spots in Warren County.
The Lifestyle
If youāre a fan of nearby Easton, PA, Phillipsburg could be your spot to get all of those Easton perks without the hefty price tag. Sunday brunch at Sette Luna? State Theatre shows? Bacon Fest? Itās all just a quick bridge hop way. And for outdoorsy types, The Poconos are your new backyard ā taking advantage of skiing at Camelback or endless summer fun at Delaware Water Gap. And the townās signature backdrop, the Delaware River for kayaking and canal walks. Central Jersey is super accessible with all of its perks ā outlet shopping in Flemington, beach days down the Shore, or wine tasting in Hunterdon County ā itās literally all right there.
Some Favorite Places Worth Checking Out
Neighboring Easton, PA is where itās at for so many things! Itās community and socializing central and really fantastic for just going into town and walking around doing some exploring of the endless offerings of downtown. Craving some Bloomingdales (as one doesāŗ), the convenience and options for shopping in nearby Bridgewater is
quick, easy drive. For a taste of local history, also check out nearby Riegelsville Bridge. This scenic spot is not only great for pics but also leads to
Alba Vineyardās gorgeous setting to kick back with a glass of wine followed up with some nearby antiquing.
And I would be remiss without mentioning an early morning drive along the Delaware to head to
Dig Yoga in Frenchtown. The town is truly as quaint and lovely as can be.
