Less than 10 miles from Philadelphia, Ashland is a commuting suburb with easy access to the city’s transportation corridor. “It’s a prime location to commute from,” says Eliza Babcock, a Realtor with Keller Williams Realty Cherry Hill, who’s been selling homes in the area for nearly 15 years. Part of Cherry Hill Township and greater Camden County, the area also offers its own array of attractions outside of Philly. Many people here commute to Philly for work, which is home to 13 Fortune 500 companies in industries like healthcare and education. Closer to home, Camden County’s major employers include fields like finance and food service.
