It was built in 1995 by Toll Brothers and is reflective of the type of large stately houses built by this builder.  There are approximately 117 Princeton homes in this development located of Rosedale road. This community is popular with corporate relocation home buyers and others relocating to Princeton New Jersey.

The major streets in the development are Christopher Drive, Walker Rd and Stone  Cliff.  The houses backing to the woods are usually considered premium locations compared to the houses backing to the open space. Many Ettl Farm houses on the Stone Cliff Road are considered premium because they back to the woods (houses with even numbers) and have walk out basements, because of the topography of the street.

In many of such houses  you could find finished basements  with such amenities as spas, saunas, game rooms, gyms, and even second kitchens. Often there is a separate entry to the basement.
