English Creek
Newer single-family subdivisions and 55 and older communities
Down English Creek Avenue, stands of trees are broken up by private driveways and entrances to tucked-away subdivisions. Outside of larger developments, housing styles range from 1960s ranch-style homes to custom-built New Traditional single-family homes from the 1990s, ranging from $300,000 to $690,000 depending on square footage, renovation levels and whether lots are closer to a quarter acre or upward of 4 acres. New Traditional single-family homes in styles ranging from Colonial Revival to farmhouse-inspired populate subdivisions like Sherwood Forest and Ballenger Woods which were built up over the 1990s through early 2000s, selling for $400,000 to $790,000 depending on age, square footage, luxury renovations and lot size. Residents who are 55 and older may choose to live in manufactured homes that sell for $30,000 to $300,000 in the Oak Forest II community or opt for New Traditional Craftsman homes built in the past 20 years that sell for $370,000 to $500,000 in the Village Grande at English Mill community.

Egg Harbor Township parks, golf clubs and marsh access
Among the parks in English Creek, Egg Harbor Township Nature Reserve is one of the best loved, offering miles of trails that pass through oak-pine forests and vistas of the central lake where kayakers explore small islands and anglers seek out bass along the shores. Youth township soccer club games and tennis lessons are held in the fields and on the courts at Tony Canale Park. A few miles away, niche athletes make use of a BMX track and three street hockey courts at Veterans Memorial Park. “Egg Harbor Township’s street hockey has really been catching on. They’re not asphalt courts, it’s this plastic decking tile which lets the ball move really fast. The Chipmunks team goes from when they’re young, around 6 years old, and then there’s older teams into high school. They do a lot of tournaments. It seems to be growing,” Boyle says.Golfers can play 18-hole games at Ballamor Golf Club or Twisted Dune Golf Club, both of which are public courses. A few miles east, both Thompson Marine and Seaport Marina offer storage and docking services, launching boaters into the Great Egg Harbor River and winding estuaries and salt marshes of the Tuckahoe-Corbin City Fish and Wildlife Management Area. Though beachgoers may disagree on whether the water is better in Atlantic City or Ocean City, South Jersey’s shoreline is a 10- to 15-mile drive from English Creek.

Shopping and dining at English Creek Shopping Center
A few miles up English Creek Avenue, the English Creek Shopping Center is a strip-mall style commercial center surrounded by the stand-alone retailers, fast food restaurants and AtlantiCare Health Care facilities that line Black Horse Pike. Big box anchors like ShopRite, Lowe’s and Aldi are joined by casual sit-down eateries serving global cuisines, ranging from the Vietnamese specialties at Pho Cali to the crab-centric bar fare served at Chickie’s & Pete’s. A much quieter commercial district at the intersection of English Creek and Ocean Heights avenues is marked by a Wawa and English Creek's main takeout spot, Primo Pizza. A handful of churches, including Solid Rock United Pentecostal Church, hold services in the area.

Egg Harbor Township events
The Egg Harbor Township recreation facilities throughout English Creek are magnets for community events, including Tony Canale Park’s recurring Rhythm in the Park concerts, a bring-your-own-lawn-chair live music series that runs on Fridays from June through August. National Night Out takes over Veterans Memorial Park each August, punctuating a family-friendly evening of pony rides, carnival games, food trucks and first responder skill demonstrations with a fireworks display. Inside the township’s community center, dozens of vendors help locals get in the spirit of the season with crafts and home goods at the Holiday Craft Show each November.

Commuting on Atlantic City Expressway
Commuters are about 16 miles from Atlantic City via its namesake expressway and 57 miles away from the larger urban hub of Center City in Philadelphia. A lack of public transportation means residents rely on personal vehicles to get around.
