Quiet and tucked-away Lumberton suburb

About 20 miles across the Delaware River from Philadelphia, there are two welcome signs on either side of the road that say Coventry Glen Estates at Lumberton. Decorated with stone pillars and nestled in well-kept landscaping, these signs are a good indicator of what homebuyers can expect from this neighborhood. The highly sought-after Coventry Glen is made up of spacious homes that sit on meticulously manicured green lawns, shaded by tulip poplar and mulberry trees. “People like the sidewalks and the cul de sacs, the more suburban features of the neighborhood,” says Jane Hipple, a real estate agent with Compass New Jersey, LLC. “And this part of Burlington is near a lot of farmland. We have a longer growing season here, so our farmers markets are open from April through November.” Local farm stands can be found south in the more rural Fostertown and north in the charming historic district of Mount Holly. The suburban atmosphere isn’t the only thing that attracts residents to Coventry Glen. “It’s a convenient location, equidistant to the greater Philly region and Princeton, which makes for an easy commute,” Hipple says. “You can get to the beach in an hour, to New York City in an hour-and-a-half, and Philadelphia is right there.”

Coventry Glen’s Colonial Revival estates

A sidewalk runs parallel to the right-hand lane upon entrance to Coventry Glen, and it remains only on this one side of the residential road throughout the neighborhood. There is low housing inventory in Coventry Glen, and it is common to find no homes on the market on any given day. Most of the nine houses sold in 2024 were Colonial-inspired estates originally built in the early 2000s. Many have been renovated to reflect brick- or stone-accented exteriors and more modern interiors. Smaller-sized homes offer around 2,000 square feet of space, while the larger estates might be more than 6,000 square feet. There is no HOA in Coventry Glen, but the residences boast at least half an acre of neat green front lawns and hardscaped back patio spaces with in-ground pools or hot tubs. Price tags typically range between $875,000 and $1.25 million. The suburb is quiet, and no commercial businesses are in the immediate vicinity. It’s no surprise that Coventry Glen is classified as "calm" by Soundscore, which gives the neighborhood a rating of 87 out of 100. In addition to its tranquil atmosphere, the neighborhood ranks low in crime, with a CAP Index crime score of 1 out of a possible 10. When residents leave the neighborhood by driving down Creek Road and turning onto Main Street, one of the first non-residences to appear is St. Martin in the Fields, an Episcopal church with a 19th-century-inspired stone cottage aesthetic.

Charming Main Street area in Lumberton

Just outside of the otherwise tucked-away subdivision, Main Street leads to the town of Lumberton. There, former colonial homes that have been turned into modern businesses and restaurants line the street. This 18th-century atmosphere allows Lumberton’s quaint downtown area to maintain a touch of vintage charm. BK Brunch is a Thai restaurant that specializes in the classics, like drunken noodles, Pad Thai and boba tea. A couple of blocks down the street, the Lumberton Historical Society Museum keeps the area’s history alive through artifacts and photos. For quick errands or a bite to eat, there are several storefronts and dining options in the Lumberton Plaza shopping section.

Exploring the Mount Holly Historic District

About 4 miles north up Main Street is the historic district of Mount Holly, which is the county seat of Burlington County. European settlers came to Mount Holly in the late 1600s and found success in the sawmill and gristmill business. By 1800, a small community of about 250 homes was formed. Today, the only remaining artifact from the original grist mill is on display near the town’s post office, next to a preserved log cabin that was built in 1712. Mount Holly also has a Revolutionary War presence from when the Continental Army marched across the Delaware River and set up artillery on Iron Works Hill. Enemy troops were drawn to the scene, and the battle began. A week later, George Washington crossed the river to lead the Battle of Trenton, and because so many Hessian soldiers were in nearby Mount Holly, the American army won the battle. Today, downtown Mount Holly is also known as the Mount Holly Historic District, and it was added to the National Register of Historic Places. Visitors can tour the town, which includes the Burlington County Prison Museum, which is widely believed to be haunted. In addition to having a strong historic atmosphere, Mount Holly is a popular commercial sector and is also home to Virtua Mount Holly Hospital. Residents can find big-box stores like Walmart, as well as grocers, fitness studios, banks, medical offices and restaurants. Kitchen 87 serves Americana breakfast and lunch in a cozy diner setting. Robin’s Nest Restaurant is located in the old-fashioned Mill Race Village area, where vintage Colonials line the street and make visitors feel like they’ve taken a step back in time. The restaurant includes a white tabletop dining room, a spacious patio area and a bakery. The brunch and dinner menus offer a variety of land and sea options.

Local green spaces around Rancocas Creek

On the north side of Coventry Glen, just across Creek Road, a section of Rancocas Creek opens into a wider body of water, making for a popular kayaking spot. The nearest recreational parks are also to the north of the neighborhood, near downtown Lumberton. Village Green Park is popular for its off-leash dog park and community garden. There’s also a playground and a paved walking trail around the park’s open green space. Bryan Freeman Memorial Park features play structures for children ages two to twelve, as well as basketball courts and athletic fields. About 2 miles east of Coventry Glen, Golden Pheasant Golf Club is a semi-private club with an 18-hole golf course. “The course is very user-friendly and very playable,” says Golf Director Brian Feld. “We just won the 2024 Burlington County Award for Best Course for the second or third year in a row.” Nearby, Gleneayre Equestrian Farm provides programs that aim to reach those who may not have the requisite means to experience horse riding and caretaking. Located in Mount Holly, Mill Dam Park has a playground and outdoor basketball courts. There’s also a canoe launch into Rancocas Creek, which flows under a green bridge connecting the park to Iron Works Park, which has baseball diamonds and other athletic fields. Mill Creek Park hosts a series of community events, including the popular Oktoberfest, complete with a full German buffet and a German band. The town of Mount Holly ushers in the holiday season through a festive door-decorating contest for the downtown businesses.

Big Rusty, a surprising neighbor with a message

Just north of Coventry Glen, right near Route 38, there’s an interesting tourist attraction. A giant scrap metal and wood sculpture named Big Rusty sits with her belly protruding, leaning against an abandoned building that’s covered in street art. This 20-foot troll was constructed by Thomas Dambo, who used metal roof parts, plywood, electrical wires and an old concrete wall. She’s part of a series of trolls that are scattered throughout the country, each accompanied by a message in riddle form. Big Rusty speaks on littering, with a riddle that goes like this: “For every piece of trash she eats, she grows so big and thick. So careful not to feed the beast, one day she might grow sick.”

"Big Rusty" welcomes visitors to the Coventry Glen area along Route 38.
