Location is a key factor residents choose to live in Devonshire, a small suburb with mid-sized homes about 20 miles across the Delaware River from Philadelphia. “Everyone knows this area over here, and how a lot of roads converge,” says Keith Conklin, Associate Broker with Keller Williams Realty. “You have Interstate 95, the New Jersey Turnpike, Route 38. And with that, you have the option to travel to New York City every day. And because of the roadways that run through here, there’s still development coming.” While some residents appreciate Devonshire as a bedroom community, the neighborhood also offers a family-friendly environment with highly rated public schools, groceries and dining nearby, and sidewalks throughout. “It has everything the city life has,” says Giulio Leone, Realtor with HomeSmart. “In this area of Burlington, there are restaurants, bars and all kinds of stuff going on. The further you go from Burlington, the more rural it gets.” Devonshire is tucked right off the interstate, so commuters can get to the surrounding big cities. But there are also smaller retail sections that surround the neighborhood, making it possible for residents to never leave the bounds of Burlington Township.
Devonshire is made up of small housing developments in Mount Laurel, NJ.

Commutes to Philadelphia and New York City
One of the benefits of living in Devonshire is being near two of the biggest thoroughfares in the northeast. “It’s very convenient having Interstate 295 and the New Jersey Turnpike right there,” Leone says. “It’s easy for commuters to get off and then get right back on.” He explains that the interstate has most of the exits that people take when they commute, while the turnpike is usually used for cutting quickly through the state. Thanks to these major roadways, Philadelphia is about a 20-mile drive, and New York City is around 75 miles north. For further travel, Philadelphia International Airport is on the other side of Center City, about 30 miles away.
The NJ Transit bus services Devonshire and the surrounding area, with several bus stops along Marne Highway. The NJ Transit train is another popular way that many of those who live here choose to travel, with the nearest stations located in downtown Burlington. “Residents have the ability to commute all the way out to New York City, as the NJ Transit runs all the way from New York City to Philly,” Leone says. There are also a couple of light rail stations in Burlington, less than 10 miles north of the neighborhood.
Both I-295 and the NJ Turnpike are minutes from Devonshire.
Devonshire's proximity to I-295 makes commuting a breeze.

Local shopping at Larchmont Commons
The Devonshire suburb is surrounded by small retail plazas, and residents can find salons, shops and eateries along Larchmont Boulevard. Asuka Sushi is a Japanese restaurant, and Crust N Fire specializes in freshly made pizza, burgers and wings. On the south side of the neighborhood, Larchmont Commons Shopping Center features fitness studios, an ALDI, Victoria’s Bagel Bistro for a specialty bagel and Pepper House for Indian cuisine. Next to this plaza, Ark Road Shopping Center has banks, a pharmacy, a ShopRite, and Francesca’s Pizza Pasta & Grill. Prospector’s Steakhouse & Saloon is a cowboy-themed restaurant that offers steaks, burgers and live music for anyone in the mood for a line dance.
On the east side of Devonshire, Masonville Square Shopping Center is another small retail area with a few storefronts and a popular pizza spot called Angelo’s II. Ma & Pa’s Tex-Mex BBQ serves Tex-Mex food from a log cabin, with picnic-style seating on the patio. Next door, Four Green Cats Cafe serves coffee and donuts in a nostalgic atmosphere, with a small water wheel outside and antique furniture for sale inside.
Less than 3 miles west, heading to Moorestown, residents can check off their grocery lists at big-name stores like Costco and Wegmans. This commercial section also includes Target, medical offices and several dining options.

Indoor and outdoor recreation around Devonshire
On the south side of Devonshire, Park Place Park has a small playground, multiple tennis and basketball courts, and different athletic fields. Also located on this side of the highway, XL Sports World is an indoor sports complex where different recreational sports leagues play. Nearby, Igloo Ice Rink has two rinks for public-use ice skating and hockey, a snack bar and an arcade area. Just east of the neighborhood, Spencer Park offers baseball diamonds and access to Rancocas Woods Trail, a non-paved trail in the woods that follows Rancocas Creek.
To the north, just across the interstate, Laurel Creek Country Club is a private club with an 18-hole golf course, event space and an outdoor pool. For an exciting family outing, The Funplex is just 2 miles south of Devonshire. This amusement park has an expansive water park that includes slides and a lazy river, and the indoor section has go-karting, carnival rides and an arcade.

Mount Holly’s historic district and Burlington’s waterfront
Residents are about 5 miles from the Mount Holly Historic District, which is the county seat of Burlington County and the location of the nearest hospital, Virtua Mount Holly Hospital. The town exudes a Colonial-era presence, and the downtown section appears to have stepped back in time. Many restaurants and storefronts are inside converted Colonial homes, and an artifact from the town’s 1600s gristmill era still remains near the post office. History buffs can tour the district, which includes the legendary and haunted Burlington County Prison Museum.
Residents are also about 5 miles from downtown Burlington, an area on the Delaware River with a quaint commercial atmosphere and another hospital, Virtua Willingboro Hospital. “If you have a boat, you can access the waterways here,” Leone says. “You can get on the Delaware and go all the way to Penn’s Landing in the city, or you can take it further north into the Burlington area.” He also mentions that oftentimes, boaters will take their boats out on Rancocas Creek, which flows on the north side of Devonshire. Rancocas Creek connects to the Delaware River, and this boat ride is a common weekend expedition for boaters.
Stop in to Four Green Cats Cafe for delicious coffee or freshly baked treats.
Ma & Pa's Tex Mex BBQ is a local favorite for freshly made tacos and burritos.

Ranch-styles and Colonial-inspired homes built in 1980
Larchmont Boulevard, lined on either side with sidewalks and divided by a grassy median, is the main way in and out of Devonshire. Branching off the boulevard are residential roads that loop into cul de sacs. Common housing styles include ranch-style and Colonial-inspired homes that were built between 1979 and 1980, most of which include attached multicar garages and driveways. Some homes have completely renovated interiors that reflect the most up-to-date appliances and flooring. While not common, some homes within Devonshire sit on a half-acre or feature an in-ground pool in the backyard. Sizes typically range from 1,500 to 2,500 square feet, and price tags can be anywhere between $425,000 and $700,000. However, Devonshire has a low housing inventory, and only a dozen homes were sold in 2024.
Colonial Revival homes are by far the most common style of home in Devonshire.
Modern ranch homes offer more modest options for buyers in Devonshire who need less space.

Mount Laurel public schools serve the community
Students who live in Devonshire can begin their education at Fleetwood Elementary, which Niche grades a B, before fifth and sixth grades at Mount Laurel Hartford School and seventh and eighth grades at T.E. Harrington Middle School, both of which receive a B-plus grade. Lenape High School, which has an A-minus, partners with Kean University, Rowan University and the nearby Rowan College at Burlington County to allow students to take courses that will earn them college credits while still in high school. “There are a lot of car shows out by Lenape High School,” Leone says. “People bring their cars and show them off. There are also a lot of farms out that way.” Johnson’s Corner Farm is a popular public-use farm next to the high school, where people can visit the market for seasonal produce and baked goods or pick their own fruit fresh from the fields.
Mount Laurel Hartford School educates students in grades 5-6.
Lenape High School received an A rating from Niche.
