Frenchtown, Hunterdon County

What we see in Frenchtown

Frenchtown is a river borough of about 1.2 square miles on the Delaware, across from Uhlerstown in Bucks County, Pennsylvania. Inland it borders Alexandria and Kingwood townships. The free Uhlerstown–Frenchtown Bridge links the two states, and the Delaware and Raritan Canal State Park trail runs along the river through town. About 400 buildings contribute to the Frenchtown Historic District, and the borough had 1,370 residents in the 2020 census.

Selling a house in Frenchtown: what's different here

Delaware River flooding

Hurricane Diane in 1955 sent the Delaware into Frenchtown's streets, buildings, and homes, and streets have flooded on occasion in later storms. River-adjacent houses can carry flood-zone ratings that raise insurance costs and lender requirements. We buy for cash, so a buyer's flood policy is never a condition of the sale.

Frenchtown Historic District

Listed in 1994, the district covers 100 acres with 401 contributing buildings, including the 1832 Greek Revival Frenchtown Inn and the 1879 Oddfellows Building. If your older house in the district needs work, we buy it as-is and leave the restoration decisions to us.

A railroad river town

Laid out in 1757 as Alexandria and nicknamed for its French-speaking settlers, Frenchtown split from Alexandria Township in 1867 and grew after the Belvidere Delaware Railroad arrived in 1853. The old station is now a cafe. If you inherited a house here, we buy it with the contents and close when the estate is ready.

Inherited a house in Frenchtown? Hunterdon County estates are opened through the Surrogate in Flemington. We handle the title work and deal directly with the estate's executor or court-appointed administrator, who signs the sale. If no one has been appointed yet, we'll walk you through that step. We talk with each heir separately and privately, so no one has to negotiate as a group.

Questions from Frenchtown sellers

Frenchtown FAQ

My Frenchtown house flooded in a past storm. Will you still buy it?

Yes. We buy houses with flood history, including ones that still need repairs, for cash and in their current condition.

Is a Frenchtown house taxed by Alexandria or Kingwood Township?

Neither. Frenchtown is its own borough, formed from Alexandria Township in 1867 and enlarged with Kingwood land in 1876. We buy in the borough and in both neighboring townships.

Do all the heirs have to agree before an inherited house can be sold?

In New Jersey, an inherited house is sold through the estate, so the executor or court-appointed administrator signs the sale. We talk with each heir separately and privately, so no one has to negotiate as a group, and we'll walk you through getting an administrator appointed if that hasn't happened yet.

How fast can you close on a Frenchtown house?

Thirty days is typical, and clean files can move faster. If you need more time, we'll write the date you want into the contract.

Are you a local company?

Yes. We're a New Jersey company based in Toms River, and we buy in all 21 counties, including Hunterdon County. We are BBB accredited with an A+ rating, listed under our affiliate Gembrook Properties.
