The City of Museums 4.5 rating By Anonymous ( May 23, 2018) It's an amazing area to live in, I love it. It is a small town with an urban atmosphere, in the heart of Mercer County. The economy here is consistent as the employment rate comes in about 95% and the unemployment is around 3%. The job industry focuses on construction, manufactur ...Read More ing, retail trade, educational services, public administration and many more other exciting opportunities to choose.

The winters are harsh to be honest; we get up to 75 inches at times during horrific winter storms. Summer makes up for the winter disadvantage, the warm weather brings a breath of fresh air to the city, the temperatures are always mild and comfortable. Rainstorms come, go, and seem to always come at the right time.

Mercerville, New Jersey has numerous attractions and amenities. The city is well known for their historic museums like the Old Barrack Museum in Trenton and the Princeton University Art Museum. I also enjoy the wineries and golf clubs nearby. Overall, this area is an awesome town for living, touring and vacationing. Read Less
