Paulsboro offers a central location to New Jersey residents

Paulsboro is a mostly residential community on the fringes of New Jersey, situated along the Delaware River. The area is almost directly across the water from the roar of jets at Philadelphia International Airport, but historic homes paired with the ability to commute to either Philadelphia or Wilmington bring residents to Paulsboro. “Paulsboro is right along the Delaware River and a pretty industrialized area,” says Tracy Troiani, a sales agent and Realtor with Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Fox & Roach – Mullica Hill South. “There are a lot of older homes with some great character. There are families that have lived in that town a very long time.” Paulsboro sits between Gibbstown and West Deptford and Interstate 295 runs through the community, lending additional convenience on the New Jersey side.

With about 6,316 residents, Paulsboro is perfect for anyone wanting a quite suburban life while only bing 30 minutes away from Philadelphia, Pa.

Residential properties line New Jersey streets

Single-family homes situated on gridded residential streets occupy most of Paulsboro. The northern half of the community typically offers larger lots, dotted with trees and lined with sidewalks, while homes in southern Paulsboro are closer together. Throughout town, most homes date to the first half of the 20th century. “Anything in New Jersey along the river has significant history, because there were ports all along the river,” Troiani says, adding that Paulsboro also offers investment properties. Colonial-style and ranch-style homes, as well as bungalows, are all common architectural styles. Prices typically fall between $150,000 and $350,000. “There have actually been quite a few sales over the past year,” Troiani says. “Things are moving over there.”
