Single Family Homes, Townhomes and Condos in Princeton Junction New Jersey in Mercer County which is located in Central Southern New Jersey 

Princeton Junction is a census-designated place and unincorporated community located within West Windsor Township, in Mercer County, New Jersey.  Princeton Junction's name comes from the train station of the same name, now on the Amtrak and New Jersey Transit Northeast Corridor. The station is the junction between this main line and a spur line (served by the "Dinky" train run by New Jersey Transit) to Princeton itself. At the turn of the century two of Princeton Junction's landmark retailers closed. One was Lick-It ice cream, a tiny kiosk-like yellow building that served ice cream to walk-in and drive-through customers, always including a trademark nonpareil in the ice cream. Also, the family-owned Lucar Hardware store shut down due to competition with superstores like Home Depot and Lowe's Hardware. Competition was not the only factor, however. The owners sought to retire, and the land had become more valuable. The site is now occupied by PNC Bank. In 2008-2009 Princeton Junction saw the further closure of a number of businesses that had been longtime fixtures. Among the most significant is the closure of an Acme Supermarket, which has been an anchor tenant in the Windsor Plaza Shopping Center for 50 years. Other closures (of Chicken Holiday fast food shop, a paint store and an Asian restaurant) were prompted to make way for the construction of a new Rite Aid store. Some observers blame the 'deterioration' of the central Princeton Junction area on a lack of political consensus.
