Life is good in Erial

Commuters who leave behind the hustle and bustle of downtown Philadelphia and cross the Benjamin Franklin Bridge to New Jersey, may find themselves relaxing as they get close to the Erial neighborhood in Gloucester Township. Although a suburban neighborhood, the community almost feels rural as one drives past lakes and ponds, green spaces and groves of woodlands. The growing community attracts attention for its convenient location, shopping and hometown appeal. “One of the best things about Erial is that it’s very clean. People take a lot of pride living here,” says Mark Buri, manager of Ed’s Rental and Tools, Inc., located in Erial. “The parks are really nice and there are a lot of good sports opportunities for kids. Both the police and the fire departments are very involved in the community, and they do a lot of outreach. People feel safe here.”
