Mayor Patrick Brennan said the majority of Merchantville's Victorians were built between 1870 and 1940 in the area surrounding downtown. Victorian houses are very popular right now, he said.

"Housing stock in Merchantville is strong and selling for higher than its assessed value," Brennan said. "It hasn't become over-priced."

Traditional Victorians and Dutch colonials are available, ranging from $160,000 to $500,000.

The town, which was incorporated 132 years ago, has many different housing styles - row houses, twins, large Victorians, bungalows, traditional Colonials, english Tudors and "fixer-uppers" - are just a sampling of the housing variety.

Merchantville values the contribution that senior citizens make to their community and recently incorporated Chestnut Station, a state of the art senior apartment complex, into the fabric of the downtown.
