What the hell is so good about it? Haha, I'm just wondering because I hear a lot about the area and it's one of the most populated towns in New Jersey. Being a North Jerseyan, I don't know much about the area and I was wondering why it's such a popular place.

Enlighten me...



Thank you.

The Cherry Hill Mall was the first mall opened east of the Mississippi. It's not only a landmark it was/is an important destination hub serving a wide area and a couple generations of shoppers.

Here are a few reasons -

Garden State Park - Cherry Hill, NJ

Cherry Hill Township (http://www.cherryhill-nj.com/government/departments/recreation/croft.asp - broken link)

Right next door:
Historic Haddonfield Restaurants and Shops

Also right next door:

Right down the road:

You can take two different trains and various buses to Philadelphia, but it's just a short drive. It's close to many beaches and best of all, you can be in the woods hiking and camping in under an hour.

*Newer, affordable, but quality housing
*Good schools
*10 miles from Phily, but much more suburban feel than other towns close to a major city
*Abundance of restaurants & shopping
*Close to major highways, taking one north or south
*Close to the NJ Shore

Also, some parts of CH are very multi-cultural, but middle to upper class. High Jewish population in some areas as well.

I once joked that the town should be renamed Cherry Hillel. Overall, a good place to live. The downsides, in my opinion, are the lack of a downtown and the HUGE High Schools. But, each neighborhood has its own elementary school.
