Risk Factors
- Stony Brook floodplain runs through central Princeton; FEMA Zone AE affects properties along Harrison Street and Faculty Road
- Pre-1950 homes near campus have aging infrastructure including original wiring, deteriorating foundations, and outdated building materials
- Mature tree canopy (oaks, maples) causes root intrusion into underground utilities, driveway heaving, and structural damage to older foundations in the Western Section
- Carnegie Lake dam failure inundation zone extends into lower Washington Road area
- Freeze-thaw cycling in January-February causes damage to poorly insulated historic homes with stone foundations, including ice dams and moisture intrusion
Water System
Princeton is served by New Jersey American Water (Elizabethtown Water Company division), drawing from the Millstone River watershed and Delaware & Raritan Canal system. Some western properties retain private wells drawing from the Stockton Formation aquifer. Predominantly residential with a mix of university, institutional, and single-family land uses.
Emergency Access
Route 206 (Stockton Street) bisects the town north-south providing the primary emergency corridor. Route 27 (Nassau Street) connects east to US-1 but is congested during university hours.

Nassau Street one-way restrictions and university pedestrian traffic can add 5-10 minutes during peak hours.
