Hopewell Borough Is Walkable—Until It Isn’t

Hopewell Borough offers a charming, walkable downtown, but everyday life becomes much more car-dependent once you leave the town center.

For buyers relocating from New York City or Philadelphia, that’s an important lifestyle trade-off to understand before making a move to Hopewell Borough.
