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 being 30 minutes away from Philadelphia, Pa.
Historic homes can be found in Paulsboro for anyone wanting to live a vintage lifestyle.
Home prices in Paulsboro range from $150,00 to $350,00.

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.”
Close knit homes mean close knit neighbors, perfectly displaying Paulsboro's friendly charm.
Well-maintained lawns and flower boxes display the residential pride found in Paulsboro.
Ranch-style homes are another common architectural style in Paulsboro.

Philadelphia is less than 20 miles north, while Wilmington is about 25 miles west. “Paulsboro is more focused on the commuter and people looking to travel to Philadelphia or different parts of Pennsylvania or Delaware,” Troiani says. “It’s very accessible.” Inspira Health Center Woodbury sits about 6 miles from central Paulsboro. Philadelphia International Airport is about 20 miles across the river.
The Philadelphia International Airport can be spotted across the Delaware River from Paulsboro, and is a 30 minute drive away.

Along the Delaware, diners can grab food with a waterfront view at Kelus Riverside Bar & Grill, which also hosts live music, or at the Alibi Inn. On the south side of the community, the Paulsboro Diner serves breakfast and lunch every day. “The Riverwinds Restaurant is not far from Paulsboro, and that’s a beautiful place along the river.” Riverwinds is in West Deptford and offers steak, seafood and more. Grocery shoppers often go to an Aldi or Acme Markets about 6 miles east.
Kelus Riverside Bar & Grill serves delicious burgers and finger foods alongside a nice cool beer.
