About 20 miles east of Philadelphia, Greentree is a quiet New Jersey community that lives up to its name. “It has beautiful tree-lined blocks and is convenient to major roadways,” says Day Lazala-Gordon, a sales agent with Berkshire Hathaway Fox & Roach Realtors who has worked here for four years. “The proximity to Philadelphia, the great schools and our walking trails are all big draws.” Greentree features a mix of late 20th-century homes alongside highways, making it easy to get around the Delaware Valley. Traffic can be heavy in the area, but turning off the main avenues is like flipping a switch from hectic rush hour to tranquil suburbia.
