Actually that's not true. Lawrenceville is 20 minutes north on Rt 206. Do you live here? Because I do. Right on Rt 1 that DOES border Lawrence and Trenton.
No I don't but I'm in the area frequently enough. The car dealerships on Business 1 south of Franklin Corner/Baker Basin Rd says Lawrenceville not Lawrence, and Halo Farm considers itself in Lawrenceville. I buy my milk from them. They all use the "ville". Never heard anyone call it just Lawrence. Do you ever address an envelope just Lawrence when mailing something there?

That's all I use. And regardless of what you state above, the people who live here know the difference between Lawrenceville and Lawrence/Lawrence Township.
Totally agree, but Trenton has a bad rep for a reason and it really doesn't represent a "metro" area at all, not like Philly, for instance, which I would consider to be a metro area and includes a mix of great and not so great (Camden) places to live.
It’s defined as its own metro by the Census bureau, and that’s what they are using here. The Metropolitan Statistical Area. It’s based on commuting patterns.
Trenton as its own metro does kind of make sense. It’s so evenly tied to both Philly and NYC yet not that very close to either at the same time. But at the higher level Combined Statistical Area, it is part of the NYC CSA even though it is physically closer to Philly and gets Philly media.

Meh. It’s still totally misleading for the average person looking for a place to retire. They’re not going to buy or rent in Trenton if they have more than two nickels to rub together.

Hmm, I live in Hamilton and i never realized there was a difference between Lawrenceville and Lawrence. Always used them interchangeably.
It must be the metro. Honestly, many areas near Trenton are very desirable, including Yardley and Newtown on the other side of the river. I wonder if those areas are counted towards Trenton or Philadelphia.

I always thought they were Philadelphia metro.. they are beautiful areas...

There you go, ONE town over doesn't even see a difference. Quaker Bridge Mall, Rider Univerisity, Halo Farm all use the "ville" in their location.
