Cost of Living in Frenchtown

By Betsy Burlingame

Summary: If you are thinking about moving to Frenchtown, here is an overview of the cost of living there.

Frenchtown, is a small, picturesque town located along the Delaware River. The cost of living in Frenchtown can vary widely depending on the type of housing and lifestyle choices. Housing prices in Frenchtown for 3 and 4 bedroom homes can range significantly based on factors such as location, age, size, and condition of the property. As of my knowledge cutoff in early 2023, the median listing price for homes in Frenchtown was around $400,000 to $600,000, with larger 4-bedroom homes often listed at the higher end of this range or above. It's important to note that the real estate market is dynamic, and prices can fluctuate based on market conditions.

Apartment rentals in Frenchtown are less common than home rentals, but you can expect to pay anywhere from $1,200 to $2,500 per month for a 1-2 bedroom apartment, with prices varying based on location, amenities, and the overall rental market. Apartment purchases are not as prevalent in Frenchtown as in larger cities, but condos and small apartment buildings do exist. Prices for these types of properties can range from $200,000 to $400,000 or more, depending on the size and luxury of the unit.

When it comes to dining out, Frenchtown offers a variety of restaurants ranging from casual eateries to upscale dining experiences. A typical meal at a mid-range restaurant can cost between $15 and $30 per person, while a three-course meal at an upscale restaurant might cost between $50 and $100 per person, excluding drinks and gratuity.

Utilities such as electricity, heating, cooling, water, and garbage for a 915-square-foot apartment in Frenchtown can cost around $150 to $250 per month, depending on usage and the time of year. These costs can be higher for larger homes and during extreme weather conditions when heating and cooling needs are greater.

Private school tuition in Frenchtown varies widely depending on the institution and the level of education. Preschool tuition can range from $500 to $1,500 per month. Elementary and middle schools can charge anywhere from $5,000 to $20,000 per year, while private high schools can cost between $10,000 and $30,000 per year. These prices are highly dependent on the school's reputation, facilities, and the educational programs offered.
