Northwest Estates
Neighborhood in Moorestown, New Jersey
Burlington County 08057
Spacious million-dollar estate homes
Northwest Estates features quiet streets canopied by mature maple, magnolia and oak trees. Lush, landscaped lawns lead to spacious estate homes on large lots. Architectural styles include classic Colonial Revivals, New Traditionals, Georgian Colonials with symmetric entryway columns, Mediterranean-style homes with stucco facades and modern designs with sleek black accents. Almost every home is different, and many are custom-built. Two-to-three-car attached garages and fenced-in backyards with patios and in-ground pools are the norm. Double chimneys are a common design element, as are wrap-around driveways. “Sales prices typically range from just over $1 million to over $2 million,” Young says, while pointing out that the average home value hovers around $1.5 million. However, several smaller properties can sell for less than $1 million. The neighborhood garners a CAP Index score of 1 out of 10, compared to the national average of 4.

Maple Dawson Park offers several sports courts that host summer youth basketball leagues, a playground and a picnic area across from the school. Northwest Estates residents are also less than 2 miles from Frank Fullerton Memorial Park.

Baker Elementary for pre-kindergarten through third grade and Moorestown Upper Elementary for fourth through sixth grade. William Allen Middle also earns an A, and Moorestown High School garners an A-plus.

Center City and Manhattan commuters
Sidewalks and proximity make it possible to walk or bike to Main Street. However, Northwest Estates' sprawling suburban landscape make it a car-dependent community. About 5 miles north, the Riverton light rail station connects commuters to Philadelphia's Center City. Jefferson Cherry Hill Hospital sits 6 miles southwest, and Philadelphia International Airport is 23 miles away. Many residents also make the 85-mile commute to Manhattan via Interstate 95. Other significant thoroughfares include New Jersey State Route 38, Route 90 and Interstate 295.Main Street’s establishments and events
Northwest Estates residents are about 2 miles from Moorestown's historic Main Street. Local establishments include coffee shops, eateries, boutiques and beauty salons. Red brick sidewalks give way to outdoor patios shaded by umbrellas. Young notes that in the summer, Main Street's crowded cafes are reminiscent of Europe, inundated with patrons enjoying leisurely morning coffees, lunches and dinners. Crowd favorites include The Cubby Hole's twist on classic brunch items like Tres Leches French Toast, the Pie Lady Cafe's freshly baked pastries and Moore Bagel's homemade cream cheese. “Akira also has amazing sushi,” Young says. Tucked between pizzerias and bakeries, Akira Moorestown is a small-scale Japanese steakhouse that serves a mix of Asian-fusion cuisine, ranging from hibachi, sushi and sashimi to Pad Thai, Lo Mein and General Tso's chicken. Due to Moorestown's long history as a dry town rooted in Quaker values, most restaurants offer BYOB policies. Down the street, residents gather on the Moorestown Community House's front lawn for summertime concert series, annual fundraisers and other festivities. The Moorestown Business Association sponsors some of the town's largest events. Residents ring in the holiday season every November with the Main Street Candlelight Stroll, whensparkling holiday lights illuminate the night sky as horse-drawn carriages glide down the road while others vote on the best holiday pie. About 2 miles down East Main Street, Centerton Square features shops like Wegmans, Costco Wholesale and Target. Other establishments include popular retailers and fast-casual restaurants. One of New Jersey's two Topgolf locations sits next door. Three miles from the neighborhood, additional big-box stores surround Moorestown Mall.However, many opt to peruse Cherry Hill Mall's 165-plus retailers, which include Macy’s, Nordstrom, Apple and Forever 21. Residents can also shop locally at the Flying Feather Farm, a family-owned farm market about 3 miles from Northwest Estates.
