Egg Harbor Township is close to cities and full of amenities
Location is the biggest reason people move to Egg Harbor Township, according to Matthew Haviland, a resident and Realtor with Keller Williams Realty Atlantic Shore. “You’re right outside Atlantic City, Ocean City, an hour from Philadelphia, two hours from New York and close to beaches,” Haviland says. There is a variety of housing styles and prices, including properties with views of the water. “My neighborhood is very diverse,” Haviland says. “But everyone looks out for one another and gets along.” Highly rated schools and recreation opportunities are also big draws to the township. The area features several parks, golf courses and a small amusement park.

There are thousands of people who come to it.”

Most residents drive, but some bus routes serve the area
Atlantic City and Ocean City are both around 10 miles away from the township. Residents mostly rely on cars to get around, but New Jersey Transit provides limited public transportation between Egg Harbor Township and Atlantic City. “It depends on where you are,” Haviland says of the buses in the area. “If you live close to those routes, it’s great, but it doesn’t reach out to every part of the township.” Atlantic City International Airport is primarily in the township and has direct flights to several destinations in Florida.
