Located on the north end of Gloucester Township, Glendora is a slow-paced suburb across the Delaware River from Philadelphia. “It’s a nice quaint town,” says Realtor Karina Infante with Coldwell Banker Realty, “That’s what people really like about it. You have that small-town feel.” Local volunteers are honored by the mayor at Citizen Appreciation Park every year, and weekend farmers’ markets are never too far away. In the words of Allison Schnackenberg, a South Jersey local who works with The Property Alliance LLC, living in Glendora means hopping from one community to the next. “The thing about South Jersey is it’s a lot of small towns. You wouldn’t even notice that you’re going from one town to another.” The neighborhood bleeds into Runnemede which in turn bleeds into Barrington; they form an interconnected network of main streets and family-owned restaurants. Glendora, specifically, is also a town known for its high concentration of Delis. There’s DeliCozy located down the street from My Way Deli & Grill, and Larry’s Cold Cuts is a short walk away — here, folks have their hoagie orders down to a science. With the exception of these sandwich counters, the area is primarily residential. Locals commute to jobs in Philly or sometimes New York, which is about 90 miles away via Interstate 95.
Glendora
Medium-priced mid-century homes
This unincorporated community is made up of approximately 2,500 homes, most of which were built during the mid-1900s. Prospective buyers will find Cape Cods, split-levels and modest ranch-styles priced anywhere between $200,000 and $350,000. “You see a lot of medium-priced homes. It’s probably an area where you can find some good deals,” says Schnackenberg. Lot sizes are relatively compact, well under a quarter acre, and residents park in driveways or single-car garages. Glendora is also home to new traditional and Colonial Revival homes. These rest on quiet cul-de-sacs and sell for between $450,000 and $600,000.
Local history at the Gabriel Daveis Tavern Museum House
In April, stop by the Gabreil Daveis Tavern Museum House for Colonial Life reenactments sponsored by the Gloucester Township Historic & Scenic Preservation Committee. There’s crafting and cooking by the campfire, and visitors can also tour the 18th-century tavern, watch blacksmiths at work and listen for the sound of cannon fires. June means the South Jersey History Fair, and locals can get their family antiques appraised free of charge. During the holiday season, a Victorian St. Nick poses for pictures in the centuries-old house. According to Schnackenberg, “Every in town in New Jersey has farmers markets and community days.” She recommends the Berlin Farmers’ Market, which stays open year-round and moves outside during the warmer months. “It’s a permanent fixture. It’s been around since I was a baby and its great for deals.”
Little League fields and dog parks
In Glendora, Little League fields are located between Cape Cods and ranch-style homes. For $20, locals can rent out plots to grow their own vegetables in the Gloucester Township Community Gardens, and Timber Creek Park isn’t too far away. There’s a 9-acre area for dogs to play, and rugged trails for walkers and runners. Runnemede Lake Park is also popular with dog owners, and local artists will sometimes set up canvases to paint by the water.
Dining on Black Horse Pike and the Deptford Mall nearby
Glendora’s main thoroughfare is Black Horse Pike. Stop for a Turkey Club or pasta salad at Larry’s Cold Cuts, and pick up fresh produce at Tony Morelli’s Market down the street. Kid Rip’s Tap & Tavern is local go-to for beer, burgers and conversation. There are more retail options in Deptford, located across Big Timber Creek. The mall is anchored by Boscov’s and JCPenney, and nearby big box retailers include Target and Walmart Supercenter. Closer to Glendora, ACME Markets on Evesham is where residents stock up on groceries.
The Triton STEAM Academy and one-act plays
Depending on their address within the neighborhood, students can attend Glendora Elementary, which earned a C-plus on the educational review site, Niche. Also within the Gloucester Township Public School System is Glen Landing Middle, which has a C grade. Last stop is the B-rated Triton High, which belongs to the Black Horse Pike Regional School District. Qualified 11th and 12th graders can enroll in the Triton STEAM Academy, designed to prepare students for careers in the sciences, and every year, each class also puts on its own one-act play.
Buses to Philly along the Black Horse Pike
As Schnackenberg is quick to point out, one of Glendora’s main appeals is its proximity to Philadelphia. Depending on traffic, it can take about 20 minutes to drive to Center City via Interstate 676. NJ Transit public buses run regularly along the Black Horse Pike, and although Glendora doesn’t have its own commuter station, the PATCO Speedline stops in neighboring communities Haddonfield and Ashland. Philadelphia’s International Airport is less than 15 miles away along Interstate 76, and nearby hospitals include Jefferson Stratford Hospital, Inspira Medical Center and Pennsylvania Hospital downtown.
