Convenience to Philadelphia and small-town life in Moorestown-Lenola
Moorestown-Lenola is a quiet community within Moorestown Township that offers a small-town feeling just 13 miles from Philadelphia. “It’s very convenient as far as location. Interstate 295 is right there, and it’s a 15-minute drive to Center City Philadelphia,” says John Wuertz, a broker associate at Berkshire Hathaway Fox & Roach Realtors with over 25 years of experience. “So convenience is one draw. And the school district is really well-rated.” While the easy commute to Philadelphia is appealing to homebuyers, life in the community also has attractions. Scenic parks with lots of activities are scattered throughout the area. Downtown Moorestown is full of century-old homes and brick buildings housing locally owned shops and restaurants. After a long day at work, residents can come home to the tree-lined streets that offer a retreat from the world around them.
