Corridor context

Route 130 River Towns — 11 towns.

Palmyra to Florence along the Delaware — RiverLine light rail, walkable borough grids, historic Burlington City, and the county's most accessible entry price points.

Buyer framing (curated): The RiverLine and Route 130 keep these boroughs the county's most accessible entry points, but each river town carries its own tax rate and district story — Palmyra, Riverside, and Burlington City receive students from neighboring sending towns. Model the consolidated tax bill early, not just the list price.
