Voorhees, eh? I'll look into that town then. Thanks a bunch!
Eh? You sound Canadien lol... Im not sure how many apartment complexes are there though... I hope you find some cause I may just live down there one day too!
mount laurel, moorestown, voorhees, cherry hill, marlton, and some surrounding areas have a lot to due and only 10 to 15 min away from philadelphia. These towns I mentioned are ranked in the top in the state.. mount laurel's district is #2-#3 in the state.. would be good for your sister if you ever wanted to move down south.. i like north jersey... though.. the landscape is nicer... winding hills..
Definitely look into the towns mentioned above. Probably the nicest in SJ. Also look into Westmont, Haddonfield, and Collingswood.
I am currently living in Middlesex County and want out. VERY high Asian Indian population. Competition in school unbelievable. Very expensive to live. Rent is 1500.00 for 2 bedroom. Homes start at 300,000.00. Nothing here either. I don't know why everything is so high.
I heard the Moorestown is great. Sounds like Vorhees is worth checking out. I have a son going into 4th grade so I am looking for a safe, affordable, American town.
How far south do you want to go? Down here in Cumberland County it's not as bad as they'd have you believe. We live in Maurice River Township. It has nice towns, affordable housing (average$=175K) and a great school. (Just won "Schools to Watch" and a Blue Ribbon School)
I'm a refugee from a nice, small town that was taken over by "progress" (development, shore traffic, etc.) many years ago. Down here, We don't have to lock our doors, the keys to our vehicles are in the ignitions, the worst crime is some kid on an ATV with a broken muffler. People are generally provincial but, friendly and keep an eye out for each other. (ever see "Funny Farm" with Chevy Chase?)
For a 3 bedroom, 2 bath house with 2 acres,I pay $3,200/ year in taxes. For half of what you might pay in Central or North Jersey, you could have quite the spread. We're an hour from Philly or Atlantic City, 45 minutes to Ocean City or Cape May, 25 minutes to Sea Isle City or Avalon/Stone Harbor with NO traffic and at night, you can see the stars...all of them. The commercial centers are Millville and Vineland (15-20min. drive on a relatively empty highway) and they really aren't dangerous.
Hey, they just opened the new, "Farm & Dog" (Central Tractor Supply) last fall so, what more do you need? LOL
I don't normally advertise this area. But I also understand getting away from "progress" and wouldn't mind some others of the same ilk.

where do you get these rankings...seriously?
Schooldigger.com (the only free one's I can seem to find) has the 2 elementary schools I know off the top of my head, in Mt Laurel, ranked as follows :Parkway in the 400's, and Fleetwood in the 700's.
For comparison's sake, Eleanor Rush in Cinnaminson was in the 200's
