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.

Homes range from historic to modern in this New Jersey suburb
The suburban streets of Moorestown-Lenola have a wide range of housing styles. “You can find everything from condos to mansions. So you’ve got your selection of every kind of style and price range,” Wuertz says. Many homes in the area are from the late 1800s and early 1900s and are often Victorian, Craftsman or Colonial Revival styles. Colonial Revivals remained common throughout the years, while ranch-style homes and cottages started to pop up in the mid-20th century. New construction homes are rare, but can be found in some areas. Most streets have tall trees in the front yards, providing plenty of shade and adding curb appeal to the homes. Many areas include sidewalks, offering room for a stroll through the community. The median housing price is around $600,000.

It just depends on what you’re in the mood for,” Wuertz says. Main Street features locally owned businesses, including pizzerias and cafes. The Moorestown Mall on New Jersey Route 38 has multiple chain eateries, ranging from sit-down bars and grills to fast-food restaurants.

Highways and buses make it easy to get around South Jersey
Highways and major roads around Moorestown-Lenola offer convenient commutes into Philadelphia.

They’ll take 38, which has traffic lights but has less traffic,” Wuertz says. Route 38 offers a 13-mile drive into Center City Philadelphia. NJ Transit has bus routes with stops on Main Street, Route 38 and Moorestown Mall. These buses can connect riders to Camden and Philadelphia.
