Living around farms close to Bridgeton
Hopewell Township was founded in 1748, one of the original townships in New Jersey. Farming was a major industry back then, and the trend continues today. “Overall, for about the past 30 or 40 years, people have moved to Hopewell Township because they like the schools and being close to farming communities,” says Michelle Evans, broker of The Roarke Agency, who's been in real estate since 1995. “It's a mix of farmland and residential areas, but you’re still close to shopping in Bridgeton, Millville and Vineland.” The rural landscape may keep some neighbors spread apart, but the restaurants in town and recreation spots in Bridgeton create spaces to reconnect.
Getting groceries and lunch at the Amish Farm Market
U.S. Route 49 is lined with restaurants and small stores, like Back Door Antiques in Priolo’s Plaza, down the street from Dollar General. Sloan’s Flower Shop & Greenhouses opened in 1929 and has been handed down through generations to keep the business family-owned. The shop is most known for its flower arrangement options. When it comes to dining, Green Olive stands as one of the most popular restaurants for its breakfast, lunch and dinner options and Italian menu. Next door, Hopewell Sub & Pizza gets busy around lunchtime. The Greater Bridgeton Amish Farm Market is the crown jewel of shopping in Hopewell Township. “The Amish Farm Market is open from Thursday to Saturday. It’s a big draw because people come from all over for produce, homemade pretzels and woodworking. They put on all kinds of events, like the corn maze every fall, and it’s always packed. I went once to get something, but I forgot they were doing one of the festivals, and there was no parking because it was so busy.” Vendors fill the red barn, and visitors grab fresh donuts from Bridgeton Cafe or treats like whoopie pies from Country Home Bakery made by the Glick family.
The Amish Farm Market offers a wide selection of local meats and produce to Hopewell folks.
Hopewell Subs serves as a great lunch spot as well as a meeting place in Hopewell Township.

Ranches and split-levels starting around $250,000
Lot sizes vary in this rural township depending on the location. The more established neighborhoods have about one-third of an acre, while other properties outside the neighborhoods can have an acre or more. “Historically, there have been a lot of ranches and split-levels, and 25 years ago, there were a lot of two-stories built,” Evans says. Most sell for $250,000 to $350,000, though homes with recent renovations can fall in the $350,000 to $450,000 range. Any property that costs $250,000 or less may need touch-ups. Though rare, luxury homes with sprawling fields nearby can hit the market for around $1 million. The established neighborhoods are all close to Route 49, and homes in the southern and northern half of the township sit surrounded by nearly endless fields and farms. All residential streets lack sidewalks, but that doesn’t stop residents from going on bike rides or taking a stroll down the block. The CAP Index gives the township a 2 out of 10 crime score, lower than the national average of 4.
Curb appeal is very important to many Hopewell Township home owners.
A split-level home is a rare find in Hopewell Township which is seems to be mostly ranch homes.

Catching up with neighbors during Hopewell Day
Hopewell Day happens every September near the Amish Market, and it’s a way for neighbors to gather and celebrate their hometown. Thousands of people bring their families and friends to see performances from All That Dance Studio troups, catch the helicopter flyover from the New Jersey State Police and explore the butterfly tent hosted by Hopewell Township Environmental Commission. Renaissance festivals often happen once a year in other places, but the spirit of witches, knights and traveling merchants lives on at the Shoppes at Dragon Village, off Country Road 699. Permanent vendors, called merchants here, fill small cabins with wares and open on weekends. There’s Market Lane Candle Co., Blend and Brew and Whimsey Hut, to name a few. The village hosts events throughout the year, from Renaissance-themed Christmas fairs to the monthly Dragon Flight Night Market craft fair. The Viking Invasion is the only ticketed event, held every November with a night market, combat performances and stories told around the campfire.
Quick access to lakes and Cohansey River Wildlife Management Area
Most of the township has farmland, but the natural setting means living close to outdoor destinations like the Cohansey River Wildlife Management Area. Visitors make sure to apply bug spray before venturing into the greenspace to spot Bald Eagles. Mary Elmer Lake and Sunset Lake neighbor each other in Bridgeton, and both locations attract anglers fishing for trout and walkers looking for quiet trails along the water. Cohanzick Zoo, also in Bridgeton, cares for over 100 animals and stays open year-round. The West Cumberland Senior Center is right behind the Amish Market, and activities are held Tuesday to Thursday.

Route 49 takes commuters to Bridgeton and beyond
Evans points out that the 33-mile trip from Hopewell Township to Delaware takes about 40 minutes, and U.S. Route 55 leads 50 miles north to Philadelphia, about an hour-long drive. Route 49 is the main road commuters use to travel 3 miles to Bridgeton or 14 miles to Vineland. Millville has the Millville Executive Airport, also 14 miles from the township, where private flights stop for fuel and locals visit for the Millville Wheels & Wings Airshow every July. The closest commercial airport is the Philadelphia International Airport. Though the area is rural, Hopewell Township has nearby medical facilities. The Shiloh Medical Group’s office is at the corner of Maple Avenue and Route 49, but the Inspira Health Center in Bridgeton maintains an emergency room and outpatient care. Churches in the township have campuses close to Route 49, such as West Park Methodist Church, which was built in 1968 and has had the same organist for over 30 years.
Rt 49, or Shiloh Pike, is the main commercial corridor through Hopewell Township.
