Housing Market

Burlington County offers Philadelphia-area living at NJ quality levels — Moorestown and Medford have schools that rival any in the state at a fraction of Bergen or Morris prices. The $380K median is 50% below Bergen and 45% below Morris. Appreciation at 5.8% reflects growing demand from remote workers who want space. The Pine Barrens towns (Woodland, Shamong, Tabernacle) offer 5-10 acre lots under $500K — impossible to find in north NJ.
