Thats my point. Almost anyone can afford Cherry hill, if they look. You can have the same excellent schools that the people paying $900k for their houses..

okay, so it seems that the wonderful township of Cherry Hill offers a good variety of types of homes. you have some very nice expensive homes and some small, but cute homes that are very affordable.
i gotta tell ya, I'm really glad I started this thread. cuz' Cherry Hill is really where its at. next time I'm in or around Philly, I think I'm going to check it out.
the best part is that regardless if you're rich or poor, or if you have a large home or a small home. you still get the great schools and the many amenities (<--check me on that word, i might have misspelled it) of that town. sounds like a really nice place.
We are far from rich and we do not live in a McMansion. We bought our house last April for 170K.
We live on the west side (eeeeew....cooties) and our house needed updating but at the end of the day....refurbishing is done and we have a kick-a$$ house and we live in Cherry Hill and.....we have NO MORTGAGE!!!!!
no sir, you can't hide from the truth. drive along the parkway from the New York state line all the way down to cape may. you will feel a difference.
trust me, sir. i couldn't agree w/ you more that people are people. i've been trying to tell people that since I was 6. but clearly towns are set up different in South Jersey and North Jersey, and the towns have a way different atmosphere. am I right?
There's definitely a difference.. I find it interesting how suburban south jersey is (the part near Philadelphia) for being so close to a major city. You wouldn't think you're 10 minutes from a major city if you are in towns like Deptford or Cherry Hill, yet if you went up north, almost everywhere you go close to NYC within a 10-15 mile radius, it is very urban and city-like.. I guess it has to do with population, since the top 4 largest cities in NJ are all in one spot (Newark, Jersey City, Elizabeth, Paterson)..

south jersey is without a question more rural. towns up here in north jersey are more urban because they were developed way earlier than towns in south jersey. when all of the urban areas up here came to be, places like cherry hill were still small little farm towns.
