Echelon sits in southern New Jersey, its landscape consisting of alternating residential areas and a pair of main roads. The proximity of its suburban streets to the two thoroughfares, and the shopping centers along them, means residents can be within walking distance of errands, events and more. “When I moved there, what attracted me is I could walk everywhere all the time,” says Maryann D’Agostino, a Realtor with Bruce Associates and former resident of the area. “I loved it because I could walk to the supermarket and the mall.”
Locals have access to myriad options, ranging from small area parks and annual events to chain stores and the malls. “I loved Echelon because I could walk my dog in the morning or walk to the mall or library,” D’Agostino says. “. “Around the corner, you have a Target, ACME and restaurants, and if you’re going down White Horse Road, everything you need is within walking distance in a one-mile range. It gives everyone a sense of neighborhood.” With more revitalization planned for the area, including apartments and general redevelopment, the city of almost 12,000 continues to evolve while maintaining its balance of residential and commercial atmospheres.

Housing variety on the streets of Echelon
The residential landscape of Echelon is made up of a variety of home styles. “It’s a mixture of condos, apartments, semi-detached and detached single-family homes,” D’Agostino says. “Prices can go from the $100,000s for condos to over $700,000 for single-family detached homes.” Condos typically cost closer to $200,000, while townhouses often range from $250,000 to $350,000. Single-family homes have a median price of about $400,000 and are frequently priced between $330,000 and $500,000. Architectural styles reflect a similarly wide range, including ranch- and colonial-style homes, Cape Cods and split-levels. “The prices tend to be lower than some other parts of Voorhees Township,” D’Agostino says, adding that many first-time homebuyers look for condos or townhouses. “Echelon has single-family homes, but those are typically the people that like living in the area or may have grown up there.”
Cold winters can often see the temperature dip below freezing, while summers can heat up into the high 80-degree or low 90-degree range. The area averages between 3 and 4 inches of rain for much of the year, while during winter months, average snowfall can approach half a foot.

Multiple malls within the city
Echelon’s residential areas are broken up by a pair of shopping hubs, adding convenience for the residents living around them. Along Somerdale Road, the Voorhees Town Center was formerly known as the Echelon Mall. “The township building is now there,” D’Agostino says. “There’s still some chain stores and Boscov’s is still there. If you’re just starting out, it’s a great place to start, and there are apartments right by the town center.” Several international restaurants still sit in the center, which also hosts events, but has fewer stores than it once did.
On the east side of Echelon, several shopping centers and strips make up a hub of activity. “There’s shopping centers everywhere,” D’Agostino says. “There’s an ACME, other restaurants and a movie theater that used to only show independent films.” Ristorante Fieni’s has a bring-your-own-bottle policy for those who want a beer or glass of wine with their meal. “Fieni’s isn’t far,” D’Agostino says. “It’s right around the corner. On Saturday, if you don’t have a reservation, you can’t get in there.” International fare there includes South Indian and Japanese spots located near the ACME and a Target, where shoppers can find groceries and everyday necessities.

Events revolving around sports, pets and more
The Voorhees Town Center is also the site of annual events, including a fall festival and Woofstock, which is put on by a local animal orphanage and features dog performances, a parade of orphanage “alumni,” contests, a beer garden and food trucks. “They have Centennial Park there,” D’Agostino says. “They tend to have a lot of different activities there, like music numbers, movie nights when the weather’s nice and a dog park.” Hockey fans can catch the Philadelphia Flyers, who play at Wells Fargo Arena across the river, when they’re practicing at Flyers Training Center; when the team isn’t using the ice, the arena is open for public skating, learn-to-skate classes, hockey workshops and other events. The center can also be reserved for birthday parties or other events. Swimming and golf are other popular activities in the area, and an AMC Theaters location shows the latest movies.
Parks, forests and lakes for local recreation
Several green spaces are interspersed within Voorhees Town Center itself. “The way they built the town center, it was set up so there were courts and benches so people could sit outside,” D’Agostino says. “People that live over there can walk to Voorhees Town Center. When it’s nicer, it’s not uncommon to see a lot of people walking dogs in that area.” Maiaroto Sports Complex has several turf soccer fields on its grounds. Kirkwood Park has sports fields and courts, along with a walking path and playground, and sits beside the 14-acre Kirkwood Forest. Kirkwood Lake sits just south and accommodates boating and fishing. “In Echelon, there are different parks for everybody to do things,” D’Agostino says. “There are areas where kids play or where you can walk around, chill out and things like that.”

Dual school districts for Echelon students
The Voorhees Township School District serves the Echelon area, scoring an A-minus with Niche and encompassing four elementary schools and one middle school. After graduating eighth grade, students can then move to Eastern Regional High School, which sits east of the city, for the rest of their education. The school is not part of a district, but receives an A from Niche. South of the city, the private Catholic St. John Paul II Regional School scores an A with Niche. Nearby colleges include Camden County College and Rowan University.

Commuting via walking, car, bus or rail
Interstate 295 sits less than 4 miles from central Echelon, eventually connecting with Interstate 676 to the west. Philadelphia is about 16 miles northwest, while Wilmington is about 40 miles west. The walkable streets wind around neighborhood blocks between the two major thoroughfares of Somerdale and White Horse Roads. The Ashland PATCO station fields a high-speed rail line that runs to Philadelphia from Camden County, with the station located in the city. NJ Transit buses also service the area.
Changing crime rates in the city
According to recent crime data, Voorhees Township as a whole recorded declines in both property and violent crimes from 2017 to 2020. The latest available data is from 2022 and 2023, when violent crimes decreased and property offenses increased.
