A serene setting
Homebuyers looking for some country-style peace and quiet should consider Pittsgrove, New Jersey, which is located 36 miles south of Philadelphia. “It’s so serene out there since it’s away from the city,” says Justin Lloyd, a local Realtor from a family-owned brokerage that has been serving the area for over 50 years. “It’s like you’re in the sticks and has a great country feel even though you’re up in Jersey.” While the neighborhood is friendly, the large lots allow residents to have plenty of privacy or have a horse or cattle farm. Even though Pittsgrove is moving away from its agricultural roots, it is still very rural in many ways.

Multiple housing styles are in the area
Homes in Pittsgrove include everything from renovated colonials to farmhouses to ranch-style homes. Housing prices range from $129,000 to $842,000, with some dating back to 1900 and some new construction built as recently as 2023. “The housing differs from street to street. It’s a good spread and not one uniform style,” Lloyd says. “It’s also a really quick market up here with the little ranchers and just about everything else, including the land, selling fast.” The homes average 2,100 square feet and sit on 129,373 square-foot lots. According to Nancy Kowalik, the founder and owner of the Nancy Kowalik Group, homes in the area are required to be on lots that are at least 1-2 acres. Popular design elements include tidy rows of windows paired with country front porches and long driveways. Lush green lawns are surrounded by mature trees, which offer shade and privacy. Perhaps one of the most positive features of the community is its crime score. CAP Index gives the community 1 out of 10, which is significantly low; the national average is 4 out of 10.

Those seeking an ideal spot to sunbathe, swim or picnic should take advantage of Alliance Beach, a tucked-away experience along the Maurice River. Another popular destination is Lake Garrison.
