Bordentown Township reached an agreement with the property owner of Bradford Pointe in June to preserve long-term affordability for 168 housing units.

Bradford Pointe is an affordable housing community located at the intersection of Burlington Bordentown Road and U.S. Route 130 South. Originally developed to fulfill affordable housing requirements from the Prior Round (1987–1999) of affordable housing requirements, the property generated surplus affordable housing credits that were carried into the Third Round (1999–2025).

But without action, the protections keeping those homes affordable were set to expire in a few years. Without intervention, the property owner would have had the option to phase out affordability protections during the upcoming Fourth Round (2025–2035).

The township and the property owner have struck a deal to extend those protections, allowing the township to count the units toward future housing obligations while preserving home affordability for the 168 families currently living there.

“This isn’t just about housing numbers or state requirements,” said Mayor Eric Holliday. “This is about real people — families, seniors, and veterans — who now have peace of mind knowing their rent won’t suddenly become unaffordable. It’s about doing what’s right for the community we all care about.”
