Relocating to a new area is one of life’s biggest changes—and when that place is South Jersey, you’re not just choosing a new address; you’re choosing a new lifestyle. Whether you’re moving for a job opportunity, family needs, or a fresh start, the transition doesn’t have to be stressful. At Quarterman Realty Group, we specialize in guiding out-of-town buyers through a seamless relocation experience with heart, hustle, and hyper-local insight.
South Jersey—especially Burlington and Camden Counties—offers a unique blend of suburban comfort, community charm, and urban accessibility. You get the best of both worlds: peaceful neighborhoods with tree-lined streets and quick access to Philadelphia, New York, and even the Jersey Shore.
Relocating families love the school systems, like Cherry Hill Public Schools, Moorestown Township Schools, and Eastern Camden County Regional High School District. Professionals are drawn to the easy commutes via PATCO, NJ Transit, and major highways like I-295, Route 38, and the NJ Turnpike.
Let’s break it all down so you can decide where in South Jersey is right for you.
1. Mount Laurel, Burlington County
Mount Laurel is consistently ranked as one of South Jersey’s most desirable places to live. With a strong school system, lots of parks, and easy access to Route 38 and I-295, it's ideal for commuters and families alike.
Highlights: Laurel Acres Park, Larchmont neighborhood, award-winning schools
Real estate: Mostly single-family homes, newer developments, and townhomes
2. Cherry Hill, Camden County
One of the most well-known towns in the region, Cherry Hill offers great shopping, restaurants, and a nationally recognized school district.
Highlights: Cherry Hill Mall, Garden State Discovery Museum, Cooper River Park
Real estate: A mix of historic homes, mid-century developments, and modern builds
3. Moorestown, Burlington County
A picturesque small town with historic charm and a thriving main street, Moorestown is great for those seeking a tight-knit community and top-tier schools.
Highlights: Moorestown Friends School, Strawbridge Lake, walkable downtown
Real estate: Luxury homes, historic estates, and classic colonials
4. Collingswood, Camden County
If you’re coming from a city and want to keep a vibrant, walkable vibe, Collingswood might be your perfect match. With its arts scene, cafes, and train line to Philly, it blends small-town warmth with urban accessibility.
Highlights: Haddon Avenue restaurants, Collingswood Farmers’ Market, PATCO station
Real estate: Older charmers, row homes, renovated bungalows
5. Cinnaminson, Burlington County
Situated along the Delaware River, Cinnaminson is great for those who want a more suburban or even semi-rural atmosphere without sacrificing access to amenities.
Highlights: Cinnaminson River Line station, community events, proximity to Route 130
Real estate: Spacious single-family homes, townhomes, some waterfront options
School Districts
One of the most important considerations for families. Popular districts include:
Haddonfield Public Schools (Camden)
Lenape Regional High School District (serves Mount Laurel, Medford, and more)
Delran Township Schools
Commute Times
Many relocation buyers work in Philadelphia, Camden, Trenton, or even New York. Proximity to PATCO (for Philly commuters) or major highways makes towns like Voorhees, West Berlin, and Delanco attractive.
Taxes and Cost of Living
New Jersey property taxes can be higher than the national average, so it’s important to understand municipal rates. Towns like Lumberton, Runnemede, and Palmyra offer good value with manageable taxes and home prices.
Local Colleges and Universities
Relocating for education or want to be near a great school? South Jersey is close to:
Rowan University (Glassboro)
Rutgers-Camden
Rowan College at Burlington County (Mount Laurel)
Camden County College

Local events and attractions
The Martins were relocating from Atlanta for a job opportunity in Philadelphia. With two kids and a dog, they wanted excellent schools, safety, and space to grow.
We started with Zoom consultations, then did virtual home tours. After narrowing it down to Mount Laurel and Moorestown, they flew in for a weekend visit—and found “the one.” We helped coordinate their sale in Atlanta, arranged New Jersey inspections, and connected them with a local lender who closed the loan in 21 days.
Now, they’re thriving in Moorestown—and just hosted their first backyard BBQ with neighbors.
