Beverly is a residential New Jersey community close to the state line
On the shores of the Delaware River, Beverly is a New Jersey community that serves as a geographic midpoint between Trenton and Philadelphia. Residential streets make up much of Beverly but give way to the heavily wooded West Avenue Nature Trails along the river, and the city of Burlington is a short drive up the riverside. “Beverly is a small town,” says Trish Gesswein, the broker of record in New Jersey for Houwzer Inc. “The city of Burlington is right on the Delaware, too, and it’s really like one of those hidden gems. It’s very pretty down there; they have waterfront restaurants and good shopping.” The suburban atmosphere, combined with Beverly’s proximity to Burlington and near-equidistance to the two closest major cities, draws residents to the riverside community.
Beverly sits between Trenton and Philadelphia.
Beginning as a ferry port, Beverly has sprouted into a thriving community just outside of Philadelphia.

Restaurants along Route 130 south of Beverly
Within the neighborhood, locals can stop for a bite to eat at Tacobirria Mexican Fast Food, Riccardo’s Pizza & Restaurant or the Beverly Athletic Club. Down on Route 130, Lolis Restaurant serves up Dominican fare, while the Golden Dawn Diner opens early, closes late and specializes in classic diner-style dishes. Just up the road, Blue Claw Crab House Restaurant & Eatery is a popular spot for seafood.
For a wider array of dining options, area residents often head about 10 miles southeast into Mount Holly, which has a downtown lined with local eateries. “There are amazing restaurants,” Gesswein says. “Kitchen87 has the best breakfast and lunch, you have some breweries there and a distillery and wine bar.” Shoppers often head to an ACME Markets or Aldi, each less than 3 miles from central Beverly, or the Anatolia Food Market for groceries.
Spice it up and head to Tacobirria located in Beverly.

Nearly equal distance from Trenton and Philadelphia
Beverly residents are similar distances from the two closest major cities. Philadelphia is about 18 miles southwest, while Trenton is around 17 miles northeast, depending on route. The closest on-ramp to Interstate 95 sits around 5 miles north across the Delaware River. “It’s very convenient,” Gesswein says. “There are a lot of major highways over there. It’s not too far from the New Jersey Turnpike, 295 and 130. It’s very easy to get to any major highway wherever you’re deciding to go.”
Drivers can access both the New Jersey Turnpike and Interstate 295 between 6 and 7 miles south of Beverly. NJ Transit buses make stops along Route 130 just outside of the community. The River Line train runs down Railroad Avenue, on the south boundary of Beverly, and is operated by NJ Transit and connects Trenton with Camden. Virtua Willingboro Hospital is around 3 miles from central Beverly.
NJ Transit busses run through Buckingham Park, making commuting a breeze.

Small municipal parks in and around Beverly
Residents here looking for green space don’t need to look far, as the Beverly has a variety of parks scattered throughout the area. “There is a whole network of state and county parks nearby,” Gesswein says. The City of Beverly Playground has play equipment surrounded by open space. Just south of the neighborhood, Edgewater Park’s Memorial Field is home to a large green space with room for four baseball fields or several soccer pitches. It also offers tennis and basketball courts.
Just across the western boundary of Beverly, hikers can take to the West Avenue Nature Trails. The recreational space also has three baseball fields beside the forested section. About 3 miles south of the neighborhood, Pennington Park spans nearly 150 acres and offers a network of trails, two dog parks, playgrounds, biking trails and multiple pavilions. Locals can also roller skate at The Rink, which is close to Pennington Park, and Beverly is a stop on the Delaware River Heritage Trail.

Driving to Mount Holly or Burlington for local events
The Beverly City School is in the community and serves kindergarten through eighth grade, scoring a B-minus rating from Niche. The school has also been recognized multiple times in the past as a National Title I Distinguished School, a recognition given to schools serving low-income populations that demonstrate excellence in fostering a high level of academic achievement in students.

Education in and outside of Beverly
The Beverly Free Library hosts various events, including visits from Santa during the holidays, but events in the area are typically held outside the community. “There are fireworks on the Fourth of July in Mount Holly,” Gesswein says. “They have the Fire and Ice Festival, which is really popular, and the Witches Ball at Halloween. There are a lot of cute things always going on in the area.” Closer to Beverly, the Burlington County Amphitheater is close to the library and hosts a free summer concert series, which takes place every Friday and Saturday most weeks from late June through August.
