Ewing Township — Mid-Century Homes Meeting Modern Needs#
Ewing Township covers roughly 15 square miles of central Mercer County, sitting just northwest of Trenton along the Delaware River. The township is anchored by The College of New Jersey (TCNJ), the Mercer County Library system, and a mix of established neighborhoods with housing stock that ranges from post-war capes and bi-levels to newer townhome communities.
The 5th Wall is based in Lawrence — twelve minutes from Ewing's center. Ewing has been part of our core service area since day one, and we've completed projects across every section of the township, from the Parkside and Mountain View neighborhoods to newer communities near TCNJ.

Ewing Neighborhoods We Serve#
Parkway Avenue Corridor — 1950s-1970s Homes#
The residential streets along Parkway Avenue and the surrounding area feature predominantly mid-century construction — ranches, bi-levels, and modest colonials built during Ewing's post-war growth. These homes are structurally solid but often carry original kitchens, bathrooms, and mechanicals that are well past replacement age. They're also strong candidates for basement finishing since most have 8-foot ceilings and functional layouts.
Mountain View & Hillwood — Established Family Neighborhoods#
Mountain View and Hillwood feature well-maintained mid-century homes on generous lots. Renovation priorities here tend toward kitchen gut-renovations (replacing 1970s cabinetry and laminate countertops with modern layouts), bathroom modernization, and deck additions that take advantage of the larger lots.
TCNJ Neighborhood & Pennington Road — Rental-Adjacent Properties#
The area around TCNJ includes single-family homes and townhomes often renovated for student rental or faculty housing. These projects focus on durable finishes, efficient kitchen/bath layouts, and basement finishing to create additional living space.
West Trenton & Scudder Falls — Riverfront and Colonial Homes#
The western edge of Ewing near the Delaware River features older colonials and some historic properties. These homes benefit from thoughtful renovation that modernizes systems while preserving period-appropriate details.
What We Build in Ewing#
Kitchen Remodeling — Typical Budget: $25,000-$55,000#
Most Ewing kitchens date from the 1950s-1980s and were designed for an era when the kitchen was a separate work room, not the social center of the home. Our most-requested Ewing kitchen project is the open-concept conversion — removing the wall between the kitchen and the family room or dining room, installing a proper header, and creating a modern layout with an island and improved lighting.
Bathroom Remodeling — Typical Budget: $14,000-$30,000#
Ewing bathroom renovations typically involve replacing 1960s-1980s fixtures and tile with modern layouts featuring walk-in showers, upgraded vanities, and proper waterproofing.
Basement Finishing — Typical Budget: $28,000-$60,000#
Ewing's mid-century homes have ideal basements for finishing — 8-foot ceilings, proper concrete block foundations, and enough space for family rooms, home offices, and guest suites. We also handle egress window installation and full bathroom additions for lower-level living.
Roofing & Siding#
Many Ewing roofs are now on their second or third replacement cycle. We handle full tear-offs, architectural shingle installation, and ventilation upgrades. Vinyl siding replacement — especially with insulated siding for improved energy efficiency — is a common Ewing project.
Deck & Patio Projects#
The larger lots throughout Ewing (especially in Mountain View and Hillwood) invite outdoor living projects: composite decks, paver patios, and outdoor kitchens.
