A secluded neighborhood around numerous lakes
In southwestern New Jersey, the rural expanse of Tamarac sits close to midway between Voorhees Township and the state’s Pine Barrens. The neighborhood is centered around several lakes and characterized by homes burrowed within thickets of trees. “Tamarac has a really beautiful lake and really nice grounds,” says Cara Campos, a Realtor with Keller Williams Realty. “It’s more on the rural side of things. It’s pretty wooded and there’s a decent amount of land.” Despite the rural atmosphere of the neighborhood, the Tamarac Lakes Association keeps the community involved with events throughout the year. The activities often correlate with the seasons and include beach days, festivals and even a flag football tournament close to Thanksgiving. “Tamarac is very popular and very desirable,” says Campos, who lives nearby. “There’s a very active homeowners association that does a lot of neighborhood events. People love it there.”
Rural roads line much of Tamarac
Single-family homes line the tree-lined streets of Tamarac, which is entirely residential in its makeup. Quiet side streets lead to cul-de-sacs tucked back amid the trees. “Lot sizes are at least a quarter of an acre, sometimes more, with big backyards. It depends on where you’re located, of course, but a lot of them do back up to woods.” The most common architectural style here is colonial-style homes, with most of the houses dating to the 1970s or 1980s. “There are lots of colonial styles, but also a mix of other layouts,” Campos says. The price range often falls between $550,000 and $800,000. Crime in Tamarac receives a CAP score of 1 out of 10, significantly below the national average of 4.
A visitor to Tamarac would find many large, single homes on large, wooded lots such as this Colonial Revival house.
Privacy and seclusion are common on the large, wooded lots throughout Tamarac.

Seasonal events dot the annual calendar
Tamarac locals have no shortage of annual events in the neighborhood and surrounding Medford, many put on by the Tamarac Lakes Association. The events are seasonally-themed but are yearly staples. Favorite annual happenings include a fall festival to kick off the autumnal season and the Turkey Bowl near Thanksgiving, when a flag football tournament commemorates the November holiday. Tamarac Beach plays host to the Beach Opening Party and Beach Closing Party, which bookend the summer, and the neighborhood welcomes colder weather with a Winter Party and Breakfast with Santa opportunities.
Recreation on the water and on terra firma
About half a dozen lakes sit in the neighborhood, including Tamarac Lake, where residents can relax on small beaches, go canoeing on the waters or cast lines for fish like bass and perch. Several lakes in the surrounding area are long, thin bodies of water, including Taunton Lake and Lake Pine to the west or Timber Lake to the north. “There are lakes everywhere,” Campos says. “A lot of the neighborhoods have their own lakes, but typically only for community access.” Bob Meyer Memorial Park sits to the south of Tamarac and has a playground, multiple sports fields and courts, a pavilion and more. Anglers can also fish in Haynes Creek, which meanders through parts of the neighborhood.
Tamarac’s many lakes offer communal lake access for kayaking, canoeing, or just enjoying a peaceful respite at the water’s edge.
The Fort Medford is a very popular playground destination for kids and parents in Bob Meyer Memorial Park.

Restaurants outside of the neighborhood
No eateries sit within Tamarac, so residents have to head outside the neighborhood to dine out. To the west, on Hopewell Road, Crawdaddy’s Cajun serves up classic Southern food close to Donkey’s Place Too’s cheesesteaks. Leo’s Famous Yum Yum complements the nearby food options with homemade ice cream, Italian ice and frozen yogurt. At the Village at Taunton Forge, located northwest of Tamarac, locals can find Italian food at Illiano Cucina and Mexican food at Tacos el Tio.“Main Street has a couple of restaurants,” Campos says of the area further north of the neighborhood. “There are a lot of great small businesses and shopping on Main Street. There are also a few here or there on Stokes.” Main Street eventually becomes Stokes Road closer to Tamarac, offering a variety of dining options like Tiga’s Artisan Pizzeria, O’Sweet Savannah’s ice cream and freshly baked items at the Medford Bagel Shop. Grocery shoppers can head to the ShopRite of Medford, about 5 miles north.
Folks in Tamarac know that Medford Bagel is the place to go for freshly-made bagels and other baked goodies.
The first warm day of the year is a great time for Tamarac folks to head to O’Sweet Savannah’s for ice cream.

Four schools for Tamarac students’ education
Students can begin at Cranberry Pines Elementary School, which receives an A-minus from Niche. From there, they can move on to Haines Sixth Grade Center and attend Medford Memorial Middle School for seventh and eighth grades. Both schools garner A-minus ratings. Students who wish to continue in the public school system move to another district for high school, such as the Lenape Regional High School District, where they can attend Shawnee High School, which also scores an A-minus.
Haines Sixth Grade Center has 287 students in grade 6 with a student-teacher ratio of 9 to 1.
Medford Memorial Middle School has 587 students in grades 7-8 with a student-teacher ratio of 10 to 1.

Access to larger cities in New Jersey
Residents can reach two state routes in less than 6 miles. Route 70 sits about 4 miles north of Tamarac, while Route 73 is over 5 miles west. Highway-goers can drive to Interstate 295 or the New Jersey Turnpike; both are around 10 miles northwest of Tamarac. “Tamarac is easy,” Campos says. “You can hit Route 70 within less than 10 minutes. Route 70 will bring you right to 295, which will lead you to all the major arteries.” Philadelphia and Camden sit around 25 miles west of the neighborhood, and Trenton is over 30 miles north. “There are tons of commuters who live there,” Campos says.
