re: Low crime in zip code 08620 Trenton - 8/7/2007 -
2/7/2009Exception to above, it depends on where in 08619 you live...I live one block from Rte 33 East of Whitehorse-Mercerville Rd...the neighborhood is very quiet..no problems with crime or gangs and as someone whom lived in 08620 for over 20 years..this neighborhood has better schools, less drug activity and is safer. I will say that the kids high school kids in Hamilton Twp. have more interaction with the Trenton kids than when I was growing up. This can be scary because as the kids get closer to their late teens they may have more interaction with teens that are in or know gang member.

One of my teens had no interaction with gang members...The other teen had a Trenton boyfriend that got mixed up with some gang memebers and is now in jail for a minimum of 10 years.
